CLK suspnesion
Hi,
As you all know, MB's suspension are all kinda boaty, yet they are very comfortable. I am just wondering for a clk320, what would be a good suspension upgrade to increase the performance, yet without sacrificing too much comfort? On my list, comfort is still more important to me than performance. And about how much, in the ball park, do you think it'll probably cost? Thanks all

depends on the weather
Eibach's Prokit springs offer a good ride quality while increasing the over performance and handling ... the set of springs would cost $275.00 plus shipping

Thanks KWik. I think you are right, a kit would make most sense. Do you know if the kits are available for the w209? Do you have any personal experience with H&R or Vogtland? I have heard that HR is the hardest suspension. True???

Yes, I have had both H&R and Vogtland. I would say the H&R are a little stiffer, but not much. The biggest difference in ride will come from shock choice. Since I haven't seen an offered for the W209 yet, and you are looking for comfort, I would say stick with either the Eibach or Vogtland and get Koni shocks when they become available. You could also just use the CLK55 shocks.
