Best Shocks?

[Ashkan's C280]

So I am looking for a shock upgrade, which will be lead by better springs then some rims, and I was wonder once and for all which springs are the best, I was going to go with bil sport shocks, then I was thinking AMG or Brabus and everyone's fav koni yellows, I want the best handling possible, and cost is no issue, what do I get?

[jnolte]

if cost is no issue you can get some crazy shit, ask speedybenz.

but i recomment Koni Adj. i plan to get these within the next 2 months after my tint.

If this is true, none of those mentioned above are what you want. Get some custom made shocks instead, fully adjustable.

[Ashkan's C280]

where would i go to have this done?, and I was looking for more along the lines of best possible shocks I can buy already made, mainly through internet....

[Ashkan's C280]

and if you have bils why change to koni?

[J Irwan]

What are you trying to accomplished..??


Best shock for what..???

Best shock for the money..?
Best shock for the flexibility adjustment..?
Best shock for race track.???


I notice you have asked a lot of question , but yet I still don't know what you're really looking for..?

same goes for spring..?
What are you after..??

What best for speedybenz (track junky) may not be best for your "street" application as the spring rate might be too stiff....



So depending on what is your goal is then we could share the knowledge and recommendation based on our experience..


But just come out and ask blantantly as what is best.....won't really help us help you..

ashkan is that guy on mbworld that talks but no game.

I guess then street, because i want to change out springs and shocks but don't know what to go with, I don't want to have anything custom made, but i want best handling possible, well I don't really know the apps for shocks eg track or street, but I was looking for something that would be it hella better, better on curves and turns and straight away things like that I suppose I don't really know

well if I knew what to get I wouldn't have to keep asking, and all you get on mbworld are pricks like aho who talk game about cars that he never really tells what he owns...

Untill you can figure that out no one can really suggest anything.

But from what you posted it doesnt sound like youre gonna take your car to the local parking lot for a weekend of autox, nor try to see what your fastest lap will be at the local track.

Dont worry about is AMG better than Brabus or if you replace Brabus with koni that means its better... thats all bull... again its what you want out of your car and cost of a part has nothing to do with this.

Here is what you need to get, a set of H&R springs and a set of bilstien sports and a set of #1 pads. It will be a perfect street combo for better handling and looks for you.

edit: buy your stuff from tirerack, it will make it easier for you.

And no need to ask what about x springs or x shocks this set up will work for you.

I am not so much concerned with aesthetics as much as handling and my biggest remorse would be to purchase a combo only to find that there would be a better setup available (with regards to handling) I am by no means any sort of expert in suspension, but I was looking for the best combo that would give me better handling no matter what style of driving I was so inclined to do whether it be track or street, I apologize if my request seem convoluted but I want to make the correct purchase because I won't be making another swap once I do this, I don't switch out and try different setups ever so once i do make the exchange it will be the only time, so I want to be confident that it was the correct direction to go.

Every suspension setup is a compromise. Knowing this will you ever be happy with one setup? Ask yourself this question then call the tirerack and purchase the combo I suggested.

Trust me, by your response, I doubt I will see you going around some cones at the local parking lot. Its not gonna happen...







... still not gonna happen....



















.... yep youre still not at nasa....

















....oh whats thats im sorry youre still not racing your M104....


















.... yes its harsh but its not gonna help you if you keep on dreaming.....















.... hello tire rack I would like to purchase....... good boy.







Hey reality hurts get over it and just DRIVE

[speedybenz]

Ashkan,

For $5000 I will make you the setup I run, but wth softer springs more in tune with street use.

You will get Custom 8100 series Penske shocks that will bolt right up and will be adjustable for compression and rebound damping independantly. The damping is the product of over one year of testing

Also included will be special spring perches that will allow you to use whatever spring rate works best for you and set the ride ht. from fully slammed to SUV ht., ie; really tall.

Rear camber arms to set the rear tires at the best angle for traction.

Also included would be front and rear swaybar bushings.

If you want the best and are willing to pay the cost this is it. Nothing else you can buy will match this setup.

Here ya' go...

Koni & Bilstein shocks

Vogtland Springs

or how about a complete kit

Now order something already...

[Renn 208]

forget what nokia said...go with the speedybenz setup. Jeff makes great stuff, and you should put that on your car. You will never find a better handling car period. And even more, you'll be helping out a fellow member instead of giving your money to some internet site.

Nokia... would you say this setup is superior then stock AMG?

My shocks are "tired" on my C43 (car doesn't take the same compression set it used to and now has a bit of bounce in a turn) ; plus I'm finally ready to give the car a drop. But I only want to do so in a manner that's "better" then the AMG setup I have now. (by "better" I mean both superior handling on anything from standard twisties on a bumpy roads to smooth autoX, as well as not drive like a truck when on a road with expansion joints, like the AMG suspension does now.)

...of course this leads to the "digressive vs. progressive" question. But I figure I'll do a search before I ask that publicly in a different post as I assume that's already been explored...
