Lower your carriage means u have to be careful when driving over humps n those basement car parks entry/exit.

[Guest Wes23]

Actually not as scary as you guys think. My Previous ride was a cvr! On 16inch ssr rims, lowered till zero fingers. Still ok leh. Moreover this time

I'm on 18 and still have a clearance of 2 fingers. So technically, 还是一个好汉!

[Guest arshavin]

One of my friend always preach,

Never fail to pay respects to humps if not, they will harm u..

humps are pretty "hump"ful.

no bro, no need to tackle humps in the fast and furious way. IF not gg for your undercarriage. Treat the hump with respect. and in return, they will respect you too! :whistle:

lol.. don't take it too literally...

so it means... the lowest part of your car.. it could be your exhaust.. your front bumper.. front lip.. side skirt.. whatever...

But it's not the distance between your fender and the top of your tyre LOL

That I know literally, what I meant is that I thought our undercarriage is hidden with some sort of protection? Unlike Japanese cars that are bare and naked...

It could be some 4pt struts or some anti roll bars too! Or underbrace??? Midpipe? Some cars midpipes are dangling in the mid air, like my previous ride....

Reviving this old thread that got me hooked while searching about coilovers.

As my AMG sports package shocks were showing signs of aging, it got me thinking about coilovers. I had tried KW V3 in my previous ride but I didn't like the repeat visits to workshop to fine tune the ride height & damping. To make matters worse.....the irritating 'tock' & spring squeaks can never be done away, It improved after some lubrication...but lasted only for a short while.

After some research, I decided to try Bilstein B12 Pro-Kit. Took them 3 weeks to deliver from Germany thru online order.

B12 is not a coilover, but a progressive spring suspension using Eibach Pro-Kit springs & Bilstein B8 shocks.

The perfectly mated suspension is awesome...ride is slightly harder than the stock AMG suspension kit by 30%. All small bumps & irregularities on the road are firmly but not harshly absorbed. Best of all....there's absolutely no noise from these springs & shocks. Overall, the car feels a lot more planted to the ground....improving not only cornering & high speed stability but also on quick acceleration.

The ride height is dropped to 1.5 finger all round...lightly slammed look. Looks sporty but not overly aggressive....

This ride height & damping has been perfectly engineered by Bilstein factory, no need for trial & error with a few visits to the WS for adjustments like in coilovers..This is a good alternative if you are looking to replace your aging shocks.

nice, any issue with big humps and transitioning from slopes to flat ? 

[jtang]

No issue with any humps or ramps as it's not dropped too low...3cm drop from stock.

Your AMG sports package come with dynamic handling, yes /no ?

If so how you over come the auto stiffing of the shocks in sports mode?

Nope...mine is pre FL W204 which didn't come with Dynamic Handling for AMG sports package.

Thanks bro. Mine has the dynamic handling but find it very bouncy when on sports, but handling and engine response....mmmm..heaven when using it on winding roads.
