Bilstein Sport Shocks

Does Bilstein make sport shocks for the '01 C320, and if so who sells them? I have been only able to locate Koni shocks.

Thanks

Personally, I'd get Koni yellow ajustable. Great shocks, does improve handling.

Koni Yellows are very desirable shocks. Coupled with H&R springs or Eibach, they make for a good setup and at a relatively low cost

But if u have the money, go for KW Variant 2 coilovers or the Bilstein PSS9s. Good luck~!

For some reason Bilstein shocks for W203 are not sold in the U.S. They can be ordered from overseas, but that would make them too expensive, given the weak U.S. Dollar against the Euro and added shipment costs. Koni indeed are a better choice all around.

I got my BILSTEIN PSS9's from MB Werks in San Diego.

But they came as part of the CARLSSON RS Adjustable Sport Suspension made for the W203.

PSS9 is a coilover set, but try to get just a set of shocks - most online shops list them for W202, but no offering for W203.

You can always buy the Brabus spring/strut kit and get bilsteins that way. Not why I'd call a wise investment though. For the same dollars you can get KW V2s.
