i usually use H&R's on my customers cars... Including my own... Great all around spring....

Fastgreek

how low do you recommend or is there one setup.

TuneTime

the H&R Sport setup is 1.0 Front and 0.9 in the rear......

MikeL

H&R or Eibach springs, very similar in ride quality, fit, finish and price. between those 2 brands, its like flippin a coin to decide.

Fastgreek

i ordered h&r springs for now but i want to see how its gonna sit, i think in the near future i will have to order a set of adjustable coil overs . thanks for the help guys....

the only FULLY adjustable coilover system for your car would be the KW V2.

if you only replace the springs in your car, it will over load your stock shocks....so I highly recommend you change your shocks as well. Billstein or Konis work well w/ H&R sport springs.

PM me if you have any further questions. I've owned 2 W208's and I'm pretty knowledgeable w/ what works well.

I use KW V1's and i could not be more happy. KW factory dampening is dead one. it will take some trial and error to get the ride height perfect but other than that they are great. i am on 19's with less than a one finger gap.

Fastgreek

can you post a pic to see how it looks, thanks

AMGOODNESS

there is a thread on here already, "Baller Status Confirmed" where you can see my car.

Fastgreek

thanks for posting about thread, i am almost positive on the kw coil over set up, i just want to see if there are any alternate choices.thanks again AMGOODNESS...

i ended up ordering a set of kw coil overs because of the adjust ability, thanks for all the info, for some reason i just had my heart set on them but somehow i was trying tho change my mind.thanks for all the help guys...

hhseouljah

HELP!? I just got off the phone w/ H&R, the gal said neither the 430 Cab, nor the 55 coupe springs will fit the W208 CLK55 Cabriolet... I'm doubting this, but don't want to order something that won't fit. Can anyone please advise? and if they in fact do not make a spring for the 208 55 cab, than can anyone recommend a manufacturer who does (other than a complete coilover system). Thanks in advance.

Make friends with your local alignment shop, you will be visiting often.

^^ Lol, I know better after 19 years of modding cars..K-MAC front & rear camber/caster/toe kits already purchased... and in the next few days I should be able to confirm/deny that the H&R Sports for CLK430 Cab's fit the CLK55 Cab just fine.

Stock shims on my 02' CLK55 Cab were 4 (17mm) bumps in the front, and 3 (13mm) in the rear.. just in case anyone else wanted to know. Fitting the shocks/springs and camber kits today. Stay tuned.

BTW, the CLK430 CAB H&R Sport kit is a direct fit for the CLK55 Cabriolet.. just FYi... Here it is w/the Stocks wheels... Monoblizzy's coming up next time you see her.
