i have a 94 c280 , i need to get some springs for it, where do u guys suggest i look?, like a used w202 part forum?

I would suggest Vogtland springs. You can find a good selection of sources by googling for "vogtland springs"

brabus or amg i'd say AMG>Brabus imo

hmmm...let's see...I replaced my stock AMG springs with Brabus springs...then I replaced my Brabus springs with Vogtland springs...Trust me, the Vogtland spring is a big improvement over those 2...

Feel free to come see for yourself...

so which is better for you brabus or amg??? and what about shocks bels or amg and how do i come see, pictures???? and how are they better actually?

why is that?

I retract my pervious statment after reading this: https://mbworld.org/forums/showthrea...966#post869966

I would call it a tie. Brabus has the better drop, but the taller AMG springs obviously have better travel. Stiffness is about equal.

The AMG shocks are bilstiens...The bilstien sports are more harsh than they need to be & the AMG don't last long with shorter springs. I would say get a set of Koni adjustables(I did))

so is it better to have more coils or less coils, that link says less>more rpm guy says more>less because of a better ride quality I need thrid op

there is more to it than more or less coils, but typically with equal length springs, fewer coils = stiffer/lighter. What is better depends on what ride qualities you are looking for and and the quality/properties of your other suspension components.

So, what ride are you trying to achieve? glide over any road or handle like a go-cart? can't have both...

the best performance ride possible, I was told AMG but what do you say

if that is true, then you should be looking at having custom springs/shocks made to your exacting spec. Along with better bushings throughout and some improved sway bars. 17" or 18" wheels with good rubber also...

if what you really meant is what's the best handling you can get from an off the shelf spring/shock combo, then I think that would be the Vogtland springs with Koni externally adjustable shocks.

Vogtland spings and Koni externally adjustable shocks are better than all AMG shocks and springs as well as Brabus and bels shocks? how many others agree with this, and to confirm this is for best handling possible seeing as ther eis no place around where I know of to make custom shocks and springs

For our W202, Yes, I think so...

To me it doesn't matter how many people agree with this. I have tried enough combinations to convince me I have made the best choice. Not many people out there actually have tried more than one spring.

Try goodle, plenty of people will make you custom shocks... You can also get custom springs made, but the options are fewer. Getting custom parts isn't a big deal if you are will to spend the $$$.

you can ask/post all you want, but you will never really know until you actually try something...
