A45 Suspension
Discussion
Looking at pre facelift A45s.
It seems every car listed for sale from Merc dealers has Sports Suspension listed under "features". I recall when the car was launched there was a choice of two suspension setups. Would anyone know if the reference to sports suspension is the standard one, would every single car have been specced with sports suspension as an extra?
Reason I am asking, is that I seem to recall that the A45 was pretty firm even as standard, so would be surprised if everyone chooses an even harder setup.
Any thoughts would be helpful - I know there are a few current and ex A45 owners on here.

Yeah, very few had the AMG Sports Suspension upgrade. Standard is just fine. All those that claimed the standard A45 setup was too firm only said so because they were trying to justify the purchase of the inferior Golf R or sidestep RS3. Go drive a few and make your own mind up. I found the A45 perfectly acceptable on UK roads. Had mine for 15k miles and 17 months. If you are concious of the ride quality then maybe look at the cars with 18" wheels rather than the 19" option.
