Even though C215 is an older platform, it still looks modern. That body style is timeless. I want to purchase one but I have to make sure I find one that has been properly maintained and also have a few dollars on the side to continue the maintenance “Mainly for the ABC Suspension”

I’ve always loved this car, all the dope boys in NYC had these cars back in the day. I just saw a nice one on Marketplace at a good price and I’m soooo tempted but the ABC scares me. I just replaced the entire suspension on my LS460 FSport and that was not for the week or timid cause it was NOT cheap!

Maintained my own ABC for years. New hoses, accumulators, pumps , etc... The car gave my wife so much anxiety that she didn’t want to road trip anymore. I ripped out the whole system and installed coilovers. Honestly glad I did. Anyone need good ABC parts and a lowering module, hit me up.

That may be what happens next time I get an issue with it. How did you address the swaybars?

@charlieecho7253 3 жыл бұрын

@@CarGhost I’ve had the car on the yellow speed coilovers for a little over a year now and haven’t felt the need for sway bars yet. Honestly I don’t drive the car very hard though. The stance is good and the ride is slightly bouncy and definitely a bit noisy over bumps. It is reliable though. I’m sure you know how excellent the drivetrain is in these cars. Mine is a CL600. Great videos my friend. Thank you for the great content.

I replaced all those accumulators twice (in 150,000 miles). Then I installed Yellow Speed Coil-Overs and never looked back. Plus, you get to remove 60 foot of hoses and pipes, four accumulators, two valve blocks, stupid tandem pump. Do it... and don't look back And No, you don't need sway bars on a 6' wide car that has 3" of suspension travel.

I Went with his hiro Coil overs.. Just just replace these struts and have the liquid drain out of it I didn't worry about the rest of that abc system and I'll tell you something it's a little bit faster and it handles much better! .. The difference in the ride I can't remember it it's where the market really small,, Do not get the old man's mode I think you will be disappointed I drive it at the sport mode and the difference is just negligible.. Race cars require sway bars I didn't notice it in my driving time... I wonder whether the value will go up I doubt it?

They could use simple air suspension like most of lux cars, I think someone told me that 4 matic models have air not the complicated hydraulic .

I hope that you answer me! I am going to buy new rims that are hella flush fit with the wheel well, so I am curious how to get them fit. What rim width and ET you have, because it seems your brabus rims are pretty close to that. And do they rub?

@CarGhost 2 жыл бұрын

It's an ET37 all around I think and yes they rubbed in the back, but that is due to the tire size more than due to the rim offset

Car Ghost is giving bullshit advice! You just need to clear the fault code and that will give you the ability to drive normally and time to replace the *transmission module* -- No need for a new transmission. The entire job *including part & labor* should be $700 - $1000.
