E 500
Cross post: need help with E 500 suspension
Aside from buying an E 55, what could be done to improve cornering for an E500? I'm thinking about Kleeman suspension lowering but I don't know anyone with an E 500 who has used Kleeman. Also, Kleeman offers repogramming of the suspension to stiffen it up 30%.
I really need your advise. Thanks in advance..

2005 Kleemann Stage 3 E55
Talk to Cory at KleemannUSA. He is good with suspension. I have the lowering module for my 211 E55 and it produces good neg camber (more in the front than rear) with no problems with oversized 19" wheels under the tubs. What are you trying to accomplish?

E 500
Thanks for your reply
I'm trying to accomplish a more responsive ride but not lose the ability to switch back to comfort mode. For me, one the most important aspect of a car is handling. The last car I owned was an Audi TT, which I placed a PSS9 coilover suspension on. I have no illusion that a E 500 can be made to handle like a 2 door sports car, but I would like to improve the cars cornering for everyday driving. One of my favorite roads to drive is in the Berkeley hills.
