Recommendations for stiffer suspension for E Sedan?

Postby King Mariot » Tue Jul 31, 2012 10:00 am

Anyone feels that the suspension for the W212 is too soft? I am on the Sports package but still feel that it is too soft for "spirited" cornering. Has anyone upgraded their suspension on W212?

I was told that there is a difference in the suspension for Sports, Avantgarde and Elegance - is there a difference in stiffness or is it just the height difference?

Good question never tried in S mode. Will try later.

However can anyone confirm if in S mode, will there be a difference in suspension setting? I know that happens for some other conti cars such as BMW, Porsches, but for Merc E class i am not sure if that is happening.

For AMG sports package, the suspension is already sports tuned. But it is not an active suspension....unless your car has the Active Dynamic Suspension as an option, the S mode will not have any effect on it. To stiffen the ride, you can opt for the aftermarket Bilstein/Eibach coilover that Hansonn is selling here.

Doc is right...if your ride has the Dynamic Sport Package(it has another extra Sports button on the dash), then when activated, it will stiffen the suspension. Else it should be as per stock tuned.

Change suspension la... :1grin:
