Sports Package differences?
So it's long been debated here what is included in the Sports Package. We all know it includes different bodywork (front and rear bumpers, side skirts) and AMG wheels (19" or 20"). Also the different accelerator/brake pedal covers.
Looking into brakes today, it does in fact use different front calipers from the non-Sport cars. I am not sure that they are better, but they are a different part #.
I am wondering if there are other differences? Anyone know of any suspension changes?

I think you've identified all the major items. Definitely no suspension differences. It may be the brake rotors have holes with sport package, can't remember now what the regular rotors look like.

You are correct Tom! I did some searching this morning. All of the suspension bushings, shocks, and stabilizer bars are universal amongst the W222 S550. However, the rotors are specified the Sport package. The regular rotors are blank, the sport rotors are cross-drilled.

Differences amg
Part numbers are different though you technically aren’t pushing more HP so more expensive brakes aren’t required per se. but they do look cool as hell. I have a S63 front bumper new in box I am trying to sell as my Benz got totaled before I could even open the box. PM if you are interested in making your W222 look even sportier for a fraction of the cost. Also have a car mirror module that works with iPhone or Android to display ur phone on the screen. Enjoy your Sclass!
