Hello:

I would like to get my 2006 c230 installed with H and R springs, but do not know anyone currently. I live in Orange County, California.

I have been quoted around 450 with installation? Do you think this is a good price?

Thanks,

Sanny

I got my H&R in Torance for around $320 in 2003...maybe the price went up or could go down...let me know if you want more info to the shop.

nlpamg

woah, what shop? let me know, I'm interested! thanks!

Sanny

i would like to know too. does that include the install? did you have a good experience? would you do it again?

jtC320

There are two shops that i would recommend and you might want to give them a call and get an quote on it first..

1. SSTR in Walnut (626)581-1790 ask for Steve [this shop does it really good...they got all the equipments to install the shocks and springs correctly and you won't ever have any problem w/ it..thou might be a little bit more]

2. ES-Sports in Torrance [i can't find the number to the shop rite now..but i'll keep on looking and post it up later] He can special order euro parts for any MBZ models...also another great shop.

Are you talking about ES Technical? They didn't really sell any euro stuff when I bought parts from them a few years back, but it's a pretty good shop that's been around a while.

I've been to TWS a couple times and have always had a good experience. Not necessarily the cheapest but usually they have pretty good pricing and they've always done good work.

yeah..thats the es i'm talking about...thanx.

Sanny

I called the number for sstr and there was no answer so i looked it up in the yellow pages and came up with ntohing. so maybe therye not around anymore?

es sports i called and they said i would have to come in and they dont give quotes over the phone. i tohught this was quite weird. id rahter not take my car to them.

so i am back at 450 with install with my guy. (if anyone needs his number please let me know)

thanks alot for helping me out!

go to EF1 motorsports near long beach... they charge about $275 with alignment... TWS is good too, Sander is a cool guy...

Sanny

its 279 for the springs plus 275 for the install so im looking at 554. a little high. thanks for the recommendation tho!

This price is practically a steal! Does that include install and alignment though?

Sanny

if you get them to pick up your phone call please let me know.

Sanny

ok i talked to steve. he said 600 for the total no alignment. what a rip!

ekimpay

try Harbor Motorsports 714.265.0010, ask for Jon. he's very reasonable and they do a good job.

drexappeal

Sanny, I don't really need these. I've got my Super Streets compliments of TEIN, USA, but as for anybody else that's looking for a suspension upgrade, I was just indicating that the price was a very reasonable deal. Sorry if I confused anybody...

So for those of you who were thinking that I was getting rid of the TEIN's...Keep dreaming!...LOL

Sanny

they wanted 600. my guy is looking bettter and better.

Oh yeah... you might also want to try Mazz Autosport in Monterey Park. If I remember correctly, I got H&Rs installed for either $320 or $350 (no alignment) about 3 years ago.

And there's D2 Technik... I'm pretty you'll be able to get them to do it for under $400 if you go there in person, but they're not always up front with the pricing over the phone.

Sanny

Mazz is not picking up their phone, but D2 Technik is great!

They are said theyd do it for 400 out the door. The guy's name is Steve.

Thanks for the contact!

potatobbq

No problem... you might even want try to bargain lower, haha. I think D2 would probably go as low as $350 depending on who is working and if you catch them on a good day.

jtC320

wow...sorry about that...i just heard from a friend of mine and he told me that he got it done for $400 installed...and that was just about 2 yrs ago....

i got mine done at ES-Sports in Torrance about 3 yrs ago...a friend of mine used to work there so i got it hooked up...sorry to hear...

Sanny

its ok man thanks alot for trying.

Can the back of the car be adjusted to ride a bit higher? It almost appears the rear of the car pictured is lower than the front. Also what about ride condition, what is your take on that?

Please expalin or correct me in my assessment.

Thanks for the reply.

I have the exact link on my website but it's something like D2Technik in Alahambra. Anyway, I paid $330 for parts and labor. I did Eibachs but I believe the H&R's where a few bucks cheaper. They did it whilst I waited, took about an hour or so and ate good Italian food about a block away, good experience, nice people, no problems. Just figure in a month or so after the springs settle you'll need to do an alignment and get the longer camber bolts from the C32.
