The SCALE MERCEDES-BENZ GLA-CLASS 14-20 INNOVATIVE SERIES COILOVER is fully adjustable and customizable to fit each customer's needs.

This coilover suspension upgrade is designed to achieve a perfect balance of street comfort and increased performance. This suspension system allows you to easily adjust your ride height while improving handling performance of your car.

Our patented scaled system design allows easier and more precise adjustment and ensures equal height on each corner. Each shock is equipped with 24 levels of dampening adjustment to fine-tune the valving efficiency.

The Part : MB21-IS coilover shocks are handcrafted and assembled to your specs at SCALE facilities.

This model front Macpherson configuration comes with adjustable camber plate front top mounts to set your desired camber specs and avoid excessive tire wear. We recommend using the gravitational bearing option to reduce the effort of the camber plate.

This rear divorced spring configuration uses a linear spring. Custom spring rate or length is not a problem.

Shock has no direct impact on wheel alignment, so if you need more adjustment than what your car offers from factory, you can check if a specialized company offers adjustable control arms.

Our mono-tube shock absorber are using high-quality CNC piston valves, synthetic oil and high-pressure nitrogen gas contained within one tube.

We can always customize the spring rate and shock length to fit your exact needs on this application.

Most importantly the rear dampening adjustment on the shock shaft is awkward. You must remove the tires, loosen the liner, and shove your arm up there. An allen head at the top of the shaft like the fronts would work better. The GLA has an access panel to the top of the shock. For the passenger side…I used long allen wrenches with set screws popping up through the interior panel on a set of Teins on an IS300.
I assumed the spring color didn’t apply with the Swift upgrade. I was simply surprised when I opened the box and they were not black.
I do have a set of your coilovers on my pickup. I rode badly for about 4-6 months. From what I’ve read you use heavy seals that take a long time to break in. A note to the customer would be good. My new ones are feeling the same way. Trying to adjust dampening with that behavior will really try your patience.
Overall, I’m very happy. Thanks.

Hello Bradley,

Thank you for the detailed feedback. We genuinely appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, especially with both your GLA45 and your pickup.

Regarding the Swift springs, unless a custom powder-coated spring option is selected, we intentionally leave Swift springs in their standard Swift color. In the past, when we coated them black, we had customers question whether Swift springs were actually installed. Keeping them in the factory Swift finish helps eliminate any confusion and ensures transparency. That said, we completely understand the surprise if you were expecting black. That is fair feedback and we can definitely make that clearer in our product notes.

On the rear damping adjustment for the GLA45, you are absolutely right. Some platforms unfortunately require a bit more effort to access the rear shock adjustment, and the GLA chassis is one of them. Mercedes did give access panels on certain models, but not all variants make it easy. We agree that a top-mounted Allen adjustment like the fronts would be more convenient. We always try to balance packaging constraints, suspension geometry, and durability, but your feedback is noted and appreciated.

As for ride quality and break-in, you are correct. We use high-quality, heavy-duty internal seals designed for longevity and consistent damping performance. Because of that, there can be a break-in period, typically a few hundred miles, where the ride may feel firmer or slightly harsh. Once the seals and internal components settle, the ride becomes noticeably smoother. We agree that including a break-in note in the box is a great suggestion and something we will look at implementing.

We are glad to hear that overall you are happy with the setup, and we truly appreciate the support, especially running our coilovers on multiple vehicles. If you ever need setup recommendations for damping adjustments or cross-weight tuning, feel free to reach out directly.

Thank you,
