S55 vs. S600

The S600 and S55 have the exact same suspension-- they both have ABC. The S600 is a little heavier though. It all depends on what you want. I prefer the full leather interior, suede-like headliner as well as the extra wood trim in the 600. Some people complain that the interior of the S class feels cheap, but that is not the case in the 600 as it is in the 55. Both are great though...cheap burberry clothing wholesale gucci clothing cheap louis vuitton shoes

The S55 as far as I can remember felt a little firmer , but I could be wrong.
The S55 also has the AMG kit on, the 600 is just a saloon, 2 single exhaust
though. The first time I drove the 600 it blew me away so I quickly forgot
about the 55. Mind you I asked how much to but the AMG kit on my 600 and
it was around 8 grand, so I left it. I haven't touched a thing, and keep wondering how fast it would be after a re map, somehow though she seems
just perfect, and as John Cleese says in The Holy Grail, Non shall pass.

S600 has standard Mercedes-Benz ABC suspension while the S55 and S65 have the AMG tuned ABC struts and different programming in the ABC control module.

What does the Vid suppose to do..Yawn.

What's the point of filming a car disappearing into the distance.
As far as suspension goes they all have programmable shocks, and self
leveling, are you sure it's not the springs that are different.
