Mercedes-Benz GLC gets a sportier stance from H&R

The new Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class is available in two main flavors – classic SUV and sleek, sporty coupe-SUV. Both have a fairly high center of gravity, though, which can get in the way of the fun. H&R offers a solution in the shape of coilovers.

The aftermarket upgrade is compatible with both body styles, but the company points out that only the 63S E-Performance version is supported. Once installed, the springs drop the clearance by 25–35 mm (roughly 1–1.4”) at the front and by 25–40 (1–1.6”) at the back. The asking price in Germany is €1,010.

H&R promises sharper handling in fast curves, reduced swaying, and about as much comfort as with the stock springs. Those looking to replace the OEM wheels will also appreciate to know that Trak+ spacers are now available for the new GLC, starting from €78 per axle (6mm kit).
