As of right now, Dnasty and myself own the only 2 sets in the country.

More sets will be available, but not till the fall. If you are interested in a set contact Dnasty or myself via PM and we will point you in the right direction.

That is correct Blake. Vogtland is the manufacturer of these springs.

Are you sure bout that? My friend Wolfgang who mans the spring press at the factory in Hamburg just confirmed that my set will arrive tomorrow... Just kidding, cant wait to see the results. I too have a 4matic and will be looking into lowering it before the end of summer..

I know a lot of people including myself are still waiting for mass production of 4Matic lowering springs from Vogtland. However, I just found a website says they have the lowering springs special made for 4Matic. Can someone confirm if this is the right one for our car? Here's the web page.

I am not sure if those will work. You would have to call H&R directly to find out. A lot of the companies that have lowering springs for the w203 list a kit for the 4matics, but if you look closely the part numbers are the same compared to the rwd versions.

Price for the kit with shipping is somewhere around $520

I need to call vogtland to find out the exact price and estimate availability, but I have been super busy this week.

Yea, those rims are gone for sure. I was going to install the springs the other day, but I noticed that my FR wheel had two hairline cracks on one of the spokes. There is no way I was putting that back on the car. Glad I caught that before it blew on the highway.

I have a 2006 C280 4Matic and when I changed my wheels and tires I wanted the tire to look wider from the back. I have 235/35/19 in the front and 275/30/19 for the rear and it rides good. The reason I chose 275 for the rear was because it's the closest size to the front (0.1% too slow as the 265 is 0.8% too fast) My question is when I lower the car (hopefully in the near future), does anyone know if I would have any problem like rubbing or anything else? Thanks.

You will have a problem with the 275 in the rear. It is also a bad idea to run a staggerd setup on the 4matics. Some people have done it and say its fine, but I wouldnt risk it.

I will shoot you a pm once I get a chance to call Vogtland about more sets. (been super busy)
