H&R Springs?...
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.

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?

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.

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.

C350 Coupe
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.

c300
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.
