I have a C240 Avantgarde SE which comes with the Mercedes Sports suspension, 17" wheels and sports calipers.
I'm thinking changing the whole suspension as I find the ride too jerky. Mercedes just can't do fine handling like a BMW.
It currently sits nice and low (standard) and looks good.
But on uneven roads, which most of London is, it just can't cope.
The setup just cannot recover well or absorb uneven surfaces.
At speed, the rear steps out far too easily and not because of loss of tyre grip. It's more a stiffness that just lifts the car up if it hits a bump.
And it can very easily understeer where the weight of the car shifts across from one side to the other. Change in direction is no way shape enough for a "sports setup".
So I'm looking at going for a Eibach or H&R package of springs and shocks.
Has anyone got any experience on this?
