Need new suspension and spring

[Cavallo]

Newbie to suspension system. My W212 2010 needs new suspension & spring after 30,000 km. I like to consider the AMG spec. Any expert here can share what to change, please. Not looking at those adjustable coilovers as it would be too troublesome I reckon.

30K very early bro. why you damage it?.

Thought it might be good to change my suspension, spring, brake rotors, pads and tyres all at one go. I don't drive much but it's been more than 3 years old for these components already.

Would like to change the shocks and spring to lower the ride a bit but don't know what specs to go for. Read that bilstein shocks are used for Merc and that Eibach springs are good. Useful to know which combination would be safe for the suspension system esp if it can cause camber etc.

i will be watching this thread.

Did some research today. See attached. Bilstein has a kit, which includes their absorber together with Eibach Springs. Might be a good way to do this.

Don't know how to attach file. Anyway, check out Bilstein B12 Pro Kit. I found it when I checked the Bilstein website and asked for recommendation for W212.

i was told that bilstein is good. Only some models lowers the height of the car. This Pro b12 does. Maybe those whom has tried this can contribute.

I'm thinking of replacing the suspension and spring on my PFL W204 as well. The current setup has been lowered by the previous owner and I've no idea what was done to it. However, I've been bottoming out too much to care about a lowered car so looking a good setup for comfort right now. Any recommendations? TIA.

Any idea how much the Bilstein B12 Pro-kit cost for E200 W212 model?

replace to stock suspensions.

Which setup would be good for comfort, b? with what spring (or it would be included with the shocks as a set?)

Also... lifespan possibly longer than stock?

My previous stock leaked at around 40k and replaced under warranty.

Stock suspensions, lower springs, aftermarket shocks and coilovers are very subjective to each individual's butt (and their family's opinions).

As a basic rule, there is nothing more comfortable than stock suspensions. Anything else, the best thing you can do is try to jio the bros with aftermarket setups for a ride in their cars and make your judgement call.
