I am looking to improve the handling of my W204 2013 C350. My main goal is a lower center of gravity and better cornering stability. I also would like to be able to return to "normal" or "comfort" driving when not at the track. I run with Pilot Super Sport tires. My own research has got me focused on the following two kits:

H&R Street-Perf. Coil-Over and


I am interested in thoughts and opinions from anyone that has these or other performance suspension systems. Thanks!

I have never had a complaint from any of my customers about H&R Coils or Bilstein so either one would be my recommendation.

i have a bilstein B14 set and find bilstein and KW the best possible option

Quick question,

Would coil covers void my Mercedes warranty if I ever decide to order them?

Sorry for being relatively off topic.

Thanks.

What won you over ? The drop ? Handling ? If they truly are performance even, what about the intangibles ? Installation instructions, customer service if you had an issue? If all these are the same, I'm just going to go with least expensive option.

installation is done by my mercedes dealer
customer service is good, i asked for 2 new front springs and got them while its normally impossible to buy seperate parts from a set.
the drop and handling is something you adjust to your own settings. mine is dropped 5cm and even with traction control off its much harder to go in an unwanted drift

I am impressed that you got your dealer to install aftermarket parts. I asked 2 dealers, including the one I bought it from and they will not do it.

Will let the thread sit for a while, but so far not hearing anything that would make me think any one brand is above the rest. So still leaning towards the H&R.

US Dealers are usually unwilling to install aftermarket parts- he is in Belgium.

Hi.. just wanted to bump this thread as i'm mulling the same suspension options..

I'm basically torn between the Bilstein B14 coil-over and H&R coil-over. Anyone out there kind enough to share they're experiences on either of these units?

thx!
