Mercedes "SPORT" suspension vs. Aftermarket
does anyone have a "sport" model mercedes and installed an aftermarket lowered suspension?
I am just wondering if its going to be a night\day different with the stock SPORT suspension vs something like H&R+Bilsteins..
the car is a 2000 C230 Kompressor and it has a right\rear blown shock and just want to open up my options..
I was also thinking of getting someones used NON sport springs and buying brand new OEM non sport shocks, #1 pads all around and possibly shave a coil off the front springs and then throw some 18's on to hide the wheel gap
I want to keep the car as a Daily Driver with a nice ride.. although I love pushing the car to its limits around freeway onramps Etc.. but I also do have the option in growing up in life? lol
EDIT: oh yeah.. I guess the same questions apply to AMG suspension owners
