W202 C240
Question W202 suspension

Hi Guys,
I have a 2000 W202 C240 .. yup.. a W202 C240.

What I need to know is will W202 C230k springs fit straight onto
my car?

I'm in South Africa and its very difficult to find tuning parts for MB and my
only other option would be to import. If 230K springs would fit it would make life much easier.

thanks

You shouldn't have any problems putting 230K springs on your 240. I don't know why you'd want to, but...

here in South Africa there are practically NO aftermarket parts for MB.
I've gotta order international but theres a few hassles.
I'm riding on 17" 5 spoke AMGs and want the ride to be a little bit more sporty.

the C230 sits lower and has a sportier ride(not inthe aftermarket bracket tho) so was tossing around the idea of just replacing mine with those.

Just order some Bilstien Sport shocks. They are OEM on the C230K and C 280 Sport versions. That maybe what you want.

Now that I can do. Friends fathers exhaust/shock fitment centre are Bilstein agents.
Also want to lower the ride so thought W202 C230 komp springs would do that.

hmm.. I seemed to have tracked down the LAST set of W202 springs at AMG-SA(Eibach goodies). will know in about an hour how much theyre about to rip me off.
