There's a reason there aren't very many 2005+ models with H&R springs. It's because the drop isn't anything significant from the OEM sport springs.

If you wan't at least an inch drop in front and over an inch in the rear, go with TEIN S-tech's or something newer that was developed off the 2004.5+ 230 springs.

OR

Just save up for coilovers

True...i want to get something with a nice drop...but i found the h&r's for a good price and was wondering if it'd be a noticable drop.

should be noticeable, if not, just cut a coil off the front and put a smaller pad in the rear.

If i get the springs that is what i will end up doing. Where cna i get it doen any local body shop? Is there a certain way to do it?

There are so many discussion on this. STF. It's all depends how much you want to spend.

800-1200 on Tein basics/SS coilovers

KW variants range up in the 1200+

those are the two most common, tein basics are the most common, KW is preferred if you got the cheddar to fork out for them.

PSS9 or Carlsson is the best.

yeuchau

stock is the best
but that's only if you don't have the money to buy coilover..haha

STFF! this thread is getting merged into the main suspension thread.

Come on man, it was on the first page!

HR Coilovers seems the best.. how much do they normally cost i wonder.. anyways.. got to go looking

jdestreza

relax bro, some people are used to getting someone else get the answers for them... lol... i dont get it with this shortcuts...

FrankW

for the 4matic...nothing's good...since they don't work.

no wait...scratch that...I think Bilstein does make the PSS9 for 4matic. I saw it on tirerack, but you might want to confirm that.

jdestreza

thanks Frank, i will call them sometime today to confirm that.. pheww you scared me for a moment there i thought im going to be helpless!!! thanks

FrankW

just happened to be bored...searched the Bilstein part # for you.

Bilstein PSS9 for C240 4-matic. new part# F4-GM5-8860-H0

jdestreza

Well, don't get too used to it on MBWorld..

will this fit on the coupe?

http://www.performancecenter.com/pro...andname=EIBACH

it says "sedan only"... but i know that many places say that for other springs and its usually not the case.

i am searching for good springs that will lower my car at least an inch or more that will maintain that comfortable ride and this is what i think i'm going with. any other suggestions?

(i just put on new rims and my car is jacked up an inch from its stock height... it looks so funky like a mini-suv/conversion car. i dont like it one bit)

rlee02135

it will fit.
what new rims did you get?

Midnight Koop

lets just say somebody's old rims are my new rims... haha. i got the stock 2007 c230 sport rims. barely used for a great deal. only 600 miles on them and pristine condition. look great on my coupe. i'm trying to do cosmetic upgrades and make my coupe look like its a 2007 model.

rlee02135

sounds good....lets see pics

ok... so i've read though about 4 pages of this thread and wanted to get some feedback. i know there are alot of options out there and i'm not sure if its worth it to dish out for coilovers. here are the three things i value in order:

1. durability (i dont want other parts to wear out quickly b/c of a unbalanced setup)
2. comfort (i want the ride to be comfortable like stock)
3. performance (duh....)

my budget range is 600-1300 and i am deciding to do suspension instead of bixenons because that can wait. (of course i dont want to spend my max amount if i dont have to!)

a few ideas from reading around:

1. eibach lowering kit
2. H&R cup kit
3. Bilstein Sport Shock/H&R Sport Spring combo
4. KW V2 coilovers
5. H&R coilovers

some maybe out of my range... but if i go for something more expensive, i will probably plan to install myself to save money.

any suggestions for the best value for the price if my goals are comfort, looks, and peformance? (i doubt i will adjust after they're on)

**i also noticed that some people change their pads i guess for ride height?... but anyways, i dont want to do more than i have to
