Well I've recently been looking to get H&R springs for my 2012 C350 4Matic Coupe.

However, on H&R's website, the selection for 2012 C350 offers;
- C350 4Matic Sedan
- C350 Coupe
- C350 Sedan

There isn't an option for C350 4Matic COUPE...

Do they make them for the 4Matic coupes or whats going on? Looking to get a subtle drop with a small improvement in handling without the need of getting coils installed.

Also, if anyone has pictures of their coupe stock/lowered side by side on springs, I'd love to see them.

Of all the viewers, no one has any idea?

Call tire-rack
I got my springs from them
They will tell u all the things u need to know

Well I called H&R directly, but as I had expected, the lady who answered has her knowledge limited only to her computer.

Since they don't list it on the website, she wouldn't know if the regular C350 coupe springs would work on a C350 4matic coupe.

So what exactly are people doing to lower their C350 4matic coupes?......

Edit; Also called Tire rack... same thing. Because its not listed individually as per my cars spec, they can't offer me something that isn't there so to speak.

Is there seriously no way of getting lowering springs on these cars?

Infamouz

Bump....

No one has an answer?

Im waiting swell...i heard you can use the sedan 4 matics on the coupe 4matics!!

Infamouz

I believe I've read that the only backwards compatibility POSSBILITY is the between the body styles themselves.

The coils on the sedan are the same throughout the lineup, and same follows as such with the coupes.

But, without having had any solid information or people who've done it, I can't make a decision. I find it hard to believe that absoultely NO ONE has done a C350 4Matic coupe and isn't able to share any knowledge about it.

The companies I've talked to don't want liability issues, so obviously they won't tell me anything other than what they can see on their screens.

Infamouz

Seriously.. has NO ONE ever done a C350 4Matic Coupe before?.....

Why don't you just contact H&R yourself if you cannot find the answer.

Infamouz

If you read the above, I already have.

They have no information other than what they see on their screens.

People here reckon a certain spring from a different application in the C line-up should/can/will/may fit... but I haven't come to that conclusion yet. And with the lack of support from those that have done it, it seems it will be a while.

Infamouz

Any other contributions? I would really LOVE to have the car lowered.

i have h&r sports on my c250 coupe and love them (not 4matic though)... just providing h&r general feedback.

Infamouz

Yes, unfortunately I'm not able to enjoy them... yet.. lol!

A lot people I know run H&R springs, be it on regular Benz', to AMG's, to M's. Nothing but great feedback.

Infamouz

Still hoping to get some type of answer....

Hey mate.

I dealt with a guy at tire rack (not about springs) but about brakes and he seemed very helpful and knowledgeable a couple of months ago. And I'm in Oz even!

If you'd like his details message me.

Also know a bloke from Vivid who can probably sort you out too who is well known on the forums - Arsha K - He's excellent.

whats up!! To make your life easier.. I have a c300 4matic. I only bought the springs after seeing ANOTHER 4 matic with them on. He was the first to do so, and I believe the last. I'm up next (or you lol) . I hope I easied your mind a bit. Not to be a dick, but search a little harder, that's how i found my answer.
