I search the forum, call different vendors, and manufacture but my questions are still not answered. Does Bilsteins makes shocks for the W203 Sedan? I heard Bilstein makes only the front for the sedan. I know koni makes a set of adjustable shocks for the sedan. I know there is the H&R cupkit, Brabus, Kleenman, Carlsson, and Renntech makes non-adjustable shocks. I was plan to save some money and get the Bilstein but now it looks like I have to fork out the money and get Brabus stocks since i already got Brabus spring. Any sedans upgrage that have Bilstein shocks? Any recommendation?

Thanks in Advance

As far as I know, your stock shocks are built by Bilstein, so as the AMG ones. Bilstein itself does not sell shocks alone for our cars, they only have BTS (matched springs + shocks), PSS (coilovers) and PSS-9 (adjustable coilovers).

Why do you want to buy shocks? Even if you are going to get Brabus now, you have to get their full chassis.

ya, I will probably get the Brabus full suspension. Anyone have them? Any comments on them?

I have my C230K sedan for over a month now and I must say that it is one of the best handling sport sedan in the market at this price range. I think the setup of the stock suspension is close to perfect. The most important thing in my mind is that I can hit those curves with confidence. This is the same feeling that I have when I drive my Boxster S. The only complaint that I have is the lousy gap between the wheel arch and the tire. It looks terrible. But I have not done anything about it as I do not want to mess up the nice ride and handling.

Does anybody know the spring rate of the stock springs ? How does it compare with H&R, Eibach or the European springs ?
