Listed for: 2010-2017 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class AWD (W218/C218)AWDFitment notes & questions

With these SF Racing Air Struts, the 2010-2017 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class (W218/C218) can sit low for shows and still lift up for real-world roads, because each corner rides on an air spring instead of a fixed coil. This version is listed for AWD models.

What you get

Damper bodies are 52mm front and 50mm rear. Damping is 1-way, with one adjuster that changes rebound and compression together. The front top mounts are aluminum with rubber bushings, with aluminum camber plates with pillowball bushings available as an option. At the rear, the mounts are aluminum with rubber bushings.

Highlights

  • Air springs in place of steel coil springs, so ride height is set with air pressure
  • 1-way damping adjustment (rebound and compression set together)
  • Air management (compressor, tank, valves and controller) is needed to run air struts; contact us to confirm exactly what is included with this listing
  • Bolt-on replacement for the factory struts, unless the notes below say otherwise

Who it suits

Ideal for owners who want a low parked stance and practical ride height for driving.

About this air suspension kit for the Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class

For a Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class that needs to be low for shows and practical for daily driving, air suspension is the most flexible option.

Fitment notes

  • Listed for: 2010-2017 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class AWD (W218/C218).
  • Model years: 2010-2017. Check your car's year falls inside this range.
  • Chassis code W218/C218: the same model name is often used across several chassis codes, so match the code, not just the name.
  • Drivetrain: AWD. AWD and 4WD versions often use different suspension parts from 2WD versions of the same car.
  • Factory adaptive dampers: if your car has electronic or adaptive suspension, check whether the listing covers it or needs a cancellation kit.
  • Specs, lead time and warranty come from SF Racing and can change. The details above this guide are the latest we have.

Not sure it fits? Message us your car's details and we'll double-check fitment with the supplier before you buy.

What else to plan for

  • An alignment. Any change in ride height changes camber and toe. Set your final height first, then align.
  • Camber and toe adjustment. Bigger drops often need adjustable arms or camber plates to align properly. See alignment and camber kits.
  • Management. Air struts need a compressor, tank and controller unless the listing says they're included.
  • Wheel and tire clearance. Check clearance at full lock and full compression, especially with wider wheels.

Questions about Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class air suspension

Will this fit my Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class?
It is listed for the 2010-2017 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class AWD (W218/C218). Check your year, model, drivetrain and chassis code against the product title. If anything is different, contact us and we will confirm fitment with the supplier before you order.
Do I need an alignment after installing air suspension?
Yes. Changing ride height changes camber and toe. Set your final height, let the suspension settle, then get the car aligned.
How low can I go?
It depends on the adjustment range the brand lists, your wheels and tires, and how you use the car. Most cars that are driven hard work best with a modest drop that leaves enough suspension travel.
Where do specs and warranty details come from?
From SF Racing. We sell parts from several brands and suppliers, and each one sets its own specs, lead times and warranty terms. The product details above are the latest we have.
