2006 c280 4 matic
listen guys i thank u for ur help. but i have tried renntech eibach neuspeed h&r. i have spent hours on the phone and the only thing they tell me is about the pad system from the dealer that comes with the car. that maybe i could get some thinner pads that sit on top of the springs maybe that will help. i have called performance shops like bodymotion in jersey that only work on benz bmw porsche the guy send himself that if they made anything for my car it would be hard because the all wheel drive. i tried searching th eforum site but came up with nothing so thank you for folks trying to help a fellow benz owner.

OK, if you're going to ask for help, you're going to have to learn to do it clearly.

Let me translate for you:
You've searched the forum, you can't find anything on point. You've got a C280 4matic, and want upgraded suspension components. Is that the gist of it?

Tirerack and Eibach's sites don't have anything for your car (which is probably what I'd look for information on, instead of a local shop), so we're at an impasse there.

KW did have coilovers, but they didn't specify if they would work on the 4matic; I'd try their site, and possibly call them or one of their dealers to see if you can get some confirmation that they'll work. You may have to go the coilover route to get anything - will cost $1200-2500, roughly.

Otherwise, I'd do searches at all of the MB forums, not just MBWorld - you may get lucky at another one, and find someone else who has done your groundwork for you. Good luck.

Oh, geez - I just noticed your other thread. You're not making friends here.

Go easy on starting new threads that cover the same subject matter - it will serve you better in the long run here.

welcome! Post some pics of the E30 pls

for 4matic models look into Vogtland Springs I think they are one of the very few that make them for the AWD platform

Does your car have self leveling suspension? If so you can't run coilovers, i'm guessing it doesn't though.

So we have KW Variant 1 and 2 for your car. They are complete coilover suspension starting at $1350.

Let us know.

06 280 4Matic

Congrats on the purchase--the 4Matic with ESP and the rest is amazing. Saved me from an accident on ice covered roads last year. Your wife will love it--mine is always trying to borrow my car!

Vogtland and H&R are the only two companies that make lowering springs for the 4matic.
H&R springs are available only in Europe.


You can, however, buy my H&R lowering springs. Only been on the car a couple months.

This has got to stop. We are not passing notes in a middle school lunchroom. We are a board full of (mostly) adults who drive Mercedes and get headaches trying to read 12-year-old girl typing. If you own the car you say you do, you're so far past the age where this style of typing is expected that it isn't funny.
