Thumbs up Suspension

Hi it's me again. With this being an American car you guys are the best to ask. We don’t have many of them over here. Does the Crossfire 3.2 V6 Coupe have adjustable suspension. Can you lower the ride of the car?
Also have any of you had your car chipped. Any feed back would be great.

The forum is fantastic some of you really know your stuff.
Thanks for all the quick responses to my other post's.

Imagine you actually own a Mercedes-Benz C32 (AMG if you own an SRT6)... and look for performance parts and upgrades for that vehicle... you will find quite a good selection actually.

The Crossfire is basically a C32 (R170) with a different shell on it.

Hope that helps!

Mercedes/Crossfire ride height is only adjustable with the OEM suspension via the replacement of the rubber pads on the spring perches. It can be lowered to a point by installing thinner pads. Available from MB parts houses only.

As far as ECU mods., there is much info here on this site...

Yes, but If I remember right, I read somewhere the c class has this suspension. I believe it was in a motor trend mag.

If I recall correctly, it is another version of the platform that also carries the C class hatchback.
