The 220 S600 (2000-2006) came only with ABC hydraulic suspension. I have no desire to deal with that nightmare. I had a 2002 CL500 with ABC and my local dealer could never figure out why the ABC failure alert would ding every time I hit a dip. Air ride was standard on the S430 and S500, but ABC was optional with the S500.

The car I purchased is the first year of the 221 chassis. They dumped the troublesome ABC system in favor of airmatic for all models. It is a much more serviceable system, less troublesome too.
