Help on Installation of H&R springs on 03 C230k sedan

Does anyone know if i need any special tools to install H&R springs for my 2003 C230K sedan? I will be installing it myself and i was wondering what tools do i need. I know that i need a spring compressor but what else......

Yes, be sure to use a proper spring compressor like a Branick .

It would also help if you have the MB tool for the slotted nut on the spring retainer :

'03 C230 SS
I've done spring installs before, but not on my C230 yet.

You'll need:
  1. Spring compressor
  2. Breaker Bar
  3. impact sockets
  4. Generic tools (ie- wrench set, metric sockets, etc...)
  5. a buddy
  6. and cheap beer

I'm glad that this was bumped just for new people, but anybody that can post the answer that'd be great.
