Not trying to hi-jack the thread. But would you say the cup kit feels like the stock sport suspension? Kinda floaty around town and a lil harsh on bumps.

ok so here is what i did. I replaced the sway bar links and put in energy sway bar bushings. I also put the stock springs in the back with a #2 PAD and the ride hight look evenfrom front to back. Huge difference in the ride. It not that harsh anymore. Now i need to know if i add some 18s with it make the rice worse. Im looking to get some cls500 stock 18"

18's are comfy, but not so sure CLS wheels will fit your C.

Typically K1 Motorsport has the best prices on all parts for our cars.

They fit - lots of space for coils. See sig. cls500 wheels wouldn't fit though.

I would also suggest gettin migg's rims.

I agree that the size and offsets appear to work, but what did you do about the different size (12mm vs 14mm) bolts?

Got lugs w/ R14 ball seats for the wheels and shorter shank length + proper threads for the w203. RADUSA has them.

advice needed please

Hi i am thinking to buy the following tein coiler over kit:

http://www.k1motorsport.com/mb/suspension.htm

at 769.00$ there is only one, tein basin coil over.

Please tell me what you think. cuz i dont want to do a mistake. also i dont want to spend to much, so i thaught it was a good choice.


let me know what you think and if they are easy to install. meaning do any car garage install coil overs or you need to go to a specialist for installation.


thks so much guys.

I've got TEIN Basics and they're great. I can vouch for K1 Motorsport, as most of my mods were purchased from them. As with anything, make sure you trust the mechanic doing the work and that they are familiar working with Mercedes suspension... should be no problem.
