conductor266: What’s this one saying here? Where is the comparison and who is comparing here? I told the threadites what I own and what I had opportunity to drive and my experience, is that a comparison to you? You left the main point of that comment searching for what is not, is that what this thread has become? I have already made a choice based on the people replies. Thanks for commenting out of contest. We used to have a guy that jumped on people like some of you guys are doing now, 6-7years ago- Trac if I’m correct. He must have indoctrinated a whole bunch of guys here. Stay on your lane and have a wonderful moment brother. 3 Likes |

IkpuMmadu: You shouldn't bother responding to one who pursued keke napep with the w203 damaging the side mirror, bumper and fender in the process. Definitely that person is highly unstable. Still looking for the w202 C180 first edition 1 Like |

Nice thread with loads of information about Benz! !! Warming up for my Mercedes-Benz E350 or S550. Between 2010 to 2012 E350 , which of them do you recommend? Between 2007 to 2009 S550, which of them do you recommend? Should I go for that with balloon shock or that with spring? |

nakoks:you are right but it is not good for our roads.... Ans weather.... It's tropical here and the material is always weakened My mechanic converted GL balloon to normal shocks... Dude did a great job there.... I have my eyes on that GL 450 .... THAT big one It's only the balloon scares me but when I saw the balloon fixed and converted... Now my prayers is Oluwa bless me so I can do such...I owe myself that SUV... seriously! Parts almost same with 350 I love the ride....from 05 model Is there any disadvantages of that ... Just asking but the converted one handles well? It balanced but didn't do it over 140 to know how it balances.... Any idea

IkpuMmadu:I saw that car on its side along Nnamdi Azikiwe airport road..... I also dislike the steering feel |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by IkpuMmadu: 4:04pm On Dec 29, 2020 |
weyreypey:that one must have a bursted balloons... That best bet is channge it or convert it to springs . They do that in Nigeria.... Yemi my mechanic did one here in Lagos and I was impressed 1 Like |

IkpuMmadu: Now this is terrible. You ought to feel depressed by such. The engineers and designers of that wagon did a lot of research and decided the best for that vehicle was an airmatic but we in our 'glory' decided to down grade it. What I know is a Mercedes Benz isn't meant for every Tom Dick and Harry sha. It's well sha! 1 Like |

IkpuMmadu:I don't like that Car,very problematic ride.I dislike all these conversions on a Mercedes.If its sport ,leave it at that,don't go changing shock and springs,if its balloon ,enjoy it.The engineers are anything but stupid. 4 Likes |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by EkelediliBuhari: 10:04pm On Dec 29, 2020 |
Changing balloon to spring ![]() You must not drive it it would feel awkward. If you don’t have money to maintain a balloon you might as well stick to your pocket size rather that disfigure and mutilate such a beauty... |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by IkpuMmadu: 10:20pm On Dec 29, 2020 |
nakoks: So that SUV is problematic... Oh that is good to know .. I just love the design |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by IkpuMmadu: 10:21pm On Dec 29, 2020 |
EkelediliBuhari: Your right, my guy R class he did it, when he is doing 160km/h it is bouncy ... Lost that benz traditional grip |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by EkelediliBuhari: 10:23pm On Dec 29, 2020 |
IkpuMmadu: Balloons comes with 4matic. This gives stability as noted and smooth ride. Also it’s is programmed to adjust to sharp turns, sudden bumps etc. you loose all that when it’s mutilated... |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by IkpuMmadu: 10:30pm On Dec 29, 2020 |
EkelediliBuhari:you are right and the dash would be like Christmas lights |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by legalwealth(m): 10:32pm On Dec 29, 2020 |
Revealing! !! |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by weyreypey: 12:49am On Dec 30, 2020 |
EkelediliBuhari:Not true. 4matic = 4WD. Nothing related to balloons. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by OPUSDEI1(m): 5:54am On Dec 30, 2020 |
IkpuMmadu: That is for the kazeemized replacement shocks. If you buy the complete spring shocks, ofcourse brand new ($1k+), it comes with sensors that will keep your dashboard clean. I have done such for a w220, sometime ago. 3 Likes |
