You could use C32 springs WITH C32 shocks, but you would be wasting money IMO.

I don't know if this is obvious to you or not. I am not you.

Eibach Pro-Kit springs are designed to work with stock shocks. I have them on my C240 and love them and it seems my factory shocks do, too. They are 15-20% stiffer than stock, where the H&R's are 25-30% stiffer (by their own web pages references).

Did you use any pads when you installed the rear springs? Do you need an alignment after installing the springs?
Thanks
