Kwik Coilover Question
Senor Kwik, or anyone else that might have first-hand experience with coilovers on the C-class sedans.
On W203 Sedan
Carlsson or H&R coilover?
Who actually makes the Carlsson components (Eibach)?
Are the designs the same?

Thx for the Kwik reply but
Carlsson CO can be obtained, that is not a problem.
What do you think about them technically?
Did you really enjoy them on your car?
Is H&R better made etc?
Is Carlsson based on Eibach?
Who makes the damper?
Thx
If you would rather talk off-line, PM me please.

I was under the impression that Bilstein made all those (or most of them) dampers using the tuner's spec. & put on the tuner's sticker on their dampers. Don't all German tuners use Bilstein anyway?

)The C with H&R coilovers that I rode in wasn't quite as nice as Carlsson's, but close. Which is better made? Hard to say, I didn't need spacers with the Carlssons and I hear others need them with H&R.
The rear dampers for the Carlsson kit were made by KW. The springs by Eibach. Not sure about the front dampers but I suspect also by KW.
I don't think either will be a bad choice.
How/where are you getting Carlssons?
