WTB: Coilovers for W203

Looks like Tein Basics are the all popular for the drop... any other suggestions?

Looking to purchase a coilover set for 2005 C230K Sedan W203. Let me know if available and price shipped to Orlando Florida 32828. Thanks for the help guys.

I don't have coilovers, but I do have a brand new H&R touring cup kit that I'm looking to get rid of. Just thought I'd let you know. I jumped the gun and bought them before learning that the 4matic front suspension is different, and the only thing available for it is springs.

I got the vogtland springs, theirs and H&R's are the only sort or suspension that works for our cars. A rear sway bar from H&R helps a good bit too. But were pretty limited in our choices.

Ya I know what your saying, I just thought I'd give you another option if you think about it.

P.S. those wheels on you car are sick.

I have H&R coilovers on my wagon. Definitely like them. Always had great experience with H&R products. Firm but smooth ride. Handles really well in the corners.

Fronts are not too bad to adjust..rears are a pain, but may be less so in a sedan versus the wagon. I have never used Tein products, so i can not compare or offer any input on them.

I went from monster truck high to pretty low and i can still come down if a bit more if i want to, so as you can see the "drop" is pretty good with them...
