I know a number of forum members have replaced the airmatic set-up with steel coils on the older amgs. Is there anyone who has made the switch for the W218 cls yet? I can't stand the body roll from the rear suspension and think my air bellows may be going too.

I am already running KW coils on the front so would imagine I would only need to buy coils for the rear if there is an option available yet for the W218.

Thanks

I have not heard of anyone doing this on a W218 but my local tech and sponsor here, Benzworks, has done many airmatic deletes on W211's (E55's) with great results. Its the same for the W218- using electronics to kill the warnings and then just dialing in the settings. They used KW's (full coils not sleeves like yours) for the replacements. I have one buddy who runs Willow with his W211 and its markedly better. But you know this with that sloppy piggymatic in the rear.

I don't know of anyone who has done but I wonder why you feel there's a lot of body roll. I see you have the P30 so you have the better suspension.
On the hardest setting, IMHO it feels very tight for a 4 door 4,200 pds sedan. It is no obviously no black series or 911 or GTR but comparing it to a CTS-V or M-5, I do not seem to feel the difference. Now there are not too many sinous roads in Florida but I do enjoy throwing it sideways once in a while and I have no issue with the suspension feeling floaty or rolling.
