Mercedes-Benz series vehicle in 1957. Find out more as we go in-depth on Bilstein Suspension.

still think brakes would be a great addition to not only this series...but the website as well...sure you can look cool and go around corners fast...but its that damn thing called stopping that keeps getting in the way of all the fun when you run your $4k wheels, $3k suspension, and $1500 in tires off the road/track because you still had stock brakes...
