Koni sports installed on rear....202

[ThreePointsix]

I installed mine on the rear 3 days ago. Took me 2 hours. Tools needed, 17mm for the lugs and shocks, 10mm for the A-arm covers, & some small tools. Kinda a beatch installing the dust covers & actually my AMG Bilsteins were still in great shape(hard to compress) Well, yes it rides ALOT smoother over regular roads & corners ALOT flatter! Better than stock, but not by a whole lot. I am happy I got them. Cant wait to have the fronts on.

The stock Bilsteins have AMG engraved in the shock body and are very nice, but yes they are a compromise for comforts sake. No regrets on these Koni's!!! They are set to full stiff & they really aren't as stiff as I thought they would be on a previous car I owned & not as stiff as the ones on my buddies IS300. I guess KONI thought Benz owners still want a soft ride quality - still, no complaint here! The car handles AND rides better than stock! I was just expecting a real harsh, bouny, ricy ride quality & was pleasently surprised by a more supple ride(IMO)
