Just curious to see if any other C43 owners out there have expierenced the same problem. To give some background, I have a C43 with 18" rims and H&R springs. The car handles great except when hitting a bump while cornering. If this happens, the car seems to float and gives you the sense that the body of the car is swaying. The car never loses it's grip of the road but to me it gives me a slight sense of uncertainty. Of course this mainly occurs when traveling at a higher rate of speed, but still I figured that the suspension would compensate. I'm wondering if the digressive shocks (stiffer first but softer as the shock compresses) that AMG used on the C43 are at fault. To me, the theory of the digressive shocks seems backward. Seems that one would want the shock to respond stiffer as the pressure increases and softer initially to give a smoother ride quality. It is usualy during hard cornering and weight transfers that create compression on the shocks and to me it would only make sense that the shocks would create stability by stiffening up. Someone tell me my theory is out of wack and my imagination is getting the better of me. Otherwise I may be contimplating on changing out the shocks to progressive/adjustable ones.
