Downsizing is also an issue at AMG. Environmental aspects were certainly the offending object, but the constant adjusting of the prices also calls for cheaper entry-level models. Whereby "cheap" here should not be confused with "inexpensive". Anyway, the new A35 AMG's "renunciation" is certainly a high level of moaning! Regardless of this, the development department of H&R has launched a sport spring kit at lightning speed. It is a perfect match for the new entry-level class from Affalterbach. The springs, which precisely match the Mercedes original shocks, lower the vehicle's centre of gravity by approx. 25 millimetres on the front axle and 15 millimetres at the rear, thus ensuring reduced body movements and more direct steering. Added to this is the more pleasing appearance, the firm AMG front adds even more overtaking prestige. Nevertheless, the long-distance driving comfort maintains. H&R Trak+ wheel spacers made of high-tensile aluminium promise even more profile and will be available shortly. Available in silver or black anodised, both standard and accessory wheels can be aligned to the fender edges with millimetre precision.
