- This video highlights installation of a Strutmasters suspension conversion kit on the FRONT two wheels of a Mercedes S 550. This video covers model years 2014 to 2020. Keep in mind many active factory suspensions, like the one in this Mercedes, will require converting all four wheels at once.

Important: There may have been updates to the installation process since this video was made. Please FOLLOW THE PAPER INSTRUCTIONS that come with the kit for the most up to date installation procedure.
This Mercedes S 550 arrived on a rollback to the Strutmasters facility in North Carolina because it was sitting so low to the ground. We replaced the expensive and complicated factory parts with our exclusive Strutmasters suspension conversion system.
Our products are designed to be simple to install, provide a great ride quality and save customers thousands of dollars versus OE replacement parts. We work on customer vehicles every day to design new products and to stay on top of the latest suspension challenges.
Strutmasters was the first to offer a fully assembled suspension conversion kit in 1999. The company is still headquartered in North Carolina, with a team that strives to provide the best products and customer service in the industry. We use premium steel coil springs that are made exclusively for us in America. All of our conversion kits are assembled in small batches by experienced employees to ensure the highest quality.
These electronically-controlled factory suspension systems are very complicated and expensive! A common failure happens when rubber in the system cracks and leaks air or hydraulic fluid -- causing the onboard air compressor or hydraulic pump to eventually fail. This results in an immediate loss of ride height and renders many vehicles undriveable. Older, high-mileage vehicles will generally require multiple repairs to keep the system working. Some customers have spent upwards of five to eight thousand dollars or more (parts and labor) chasing a failing factory system.
Don't learn the hard way! Avoid multiple repairs that come with fixing the existing system (especially with cheap, imitation parts). Fix It Once, Fix It Right with the original -- Strutmasters! Obtain the vehicle ID (VIN) number and get the exact product for your vehicle by calling one of our suspension experts at 866-597-2397.
Great video but your missing a whole procedure. You must also install a relay module that tells the computer the air system is good. Otherwise you will get a fault code on your dash.
Facts
Damn made that look so easy.
Thinking of purchasing a 2020 s550 in the future. Will definitely convert my suspension to coil if the air suspension goes out. Thank you!
Thanks for trusting #thesuspensionexperts Gary!

Stay far away

I just did the Arnott coilover conversion to w221The ride height is perfect/normal and the car rides great. It does ride like sport mode and the sport mode light stays on. I did the job myself and it was pretty easy. At this point I have no regrets.
Did you do both front and back conversion? What was Arnott model number? Could you kindly provide a link? How much did the whole set cost? Sorry about all the question but I really appreciate it. Thanks!
@@zacklee5168 Yes, they were a little firmer at first. After about 300 miles they settled and ride even better. I like them. I run 19” tires and it’s not a harsh ride.
Do mine for me please
I am asking about ride quality before and after?
Can this be done on a 2008 model? I know this is a big issue with many Mercedes cars. Good job!
of course it can done on it.. conversion kit is available on Amazon/ebay
Yes and don't buy from Strutmasters. They're way overpriced. I put a brand called Touring Tech on my 06 S430 and it rides phenomenal. 5 hundred dollars. Have the price of Strutmasters with a lifetime warranty.
How is the comfort
Cannot tell a difference. It gives you peace of mind that car wont' sag if a strut goes bad.
There is so much crap about how its a bad idea owning an s class out of warranty or you should only lease them. IF you are capable of working on your vehicles most issues that appear with these cars can be fixed without much issue and fairly affordable on the aftermarket. Yes many small electronics can fail, nothing that will keep it forom moving down the road safely or cant be fixed yourself with a copy of mercedes xentry. even the 9spd trans is easy to service on these and even have a drain plug on the converter so no flush required.
Strutmasters and their ridiculously overpriced conversion struts. Guys, look elsewhere. I got mine from a brand called Touring Tech for half the price and they're fantastic.2006 S430. Also have a lifetime warranty. Why spend a thousand dollars on a 20 year old car? My care rides excellent.
