Looking to buy some used lowering springs. H&R preferred.

Email me at mfarwell90@Gmail.com for a quicker response. Thanks a bunch!

Ps: can have no more than one coil cut up front but don't mind one that has been cut already.

MrVu

Where are you located?

Cali619

I'm in San Diego, Southern California. You?

MrVu

I'm in SD as well. I have a pair of brand new H&R Super Sport front springs and used rear with one and a half coils cut.

Pic of what it looked like on my w203.

Cali619

What size rim did you have those were tucking nicely I'm on the stock sport rims.

The rears are cut? Is your pic with the fronts cut as well?

How much you looking to get for them?

MrVu

Those wheels are 19s, yes my fronts at cut as well. I have 2 sets of H&R SS, one on my car and other one with the new front springs just laying around lol.

Just $100

Idk that one and a half coils off the rear seems like a lot.
I guess I could always put the stock ones back on if I don't like.


So how do I know if mine will fit the c230 SS or if it just a regular c230 sorry for the beginners question?
I have a 2007 c230


You think we can work something out on like Friday/Weekend. I wont have money until then?

don't mix stock springs with the H&R stiffer fronts, they should only go on as a set. Also never a good idea to cut springs. IMO looking at the photo there is way too much negative camber and you will be going through rear tires even faster

MrVu

It depends what kind of look you want to look for, I wanted to slam mine out but the springs alone would not go that low without cutting them.

Its not the preferred method to cut the springs but it is the cheapest, unless you can afford or find some new/used coilovers.

If the rears sit too low for your liking you could always order a pair of #4 or #5 pads from the dealer. It was about $20-$30. The stock pads on the 07 c230 were pads #3, at least mine were. It'll only make a few millimeter difference but when you're going for that flush or stance look than it matters.

I'm free anytime, just let me know via pm.

I agree about cutting the springs, it is however the cheapest way to get slammed or stanced.

I think it the angle of the car in pic gave it more of a neg camber look than it actually is.

Cali619

Yeah I was actually just reading about those spring seat pads not too long ago. I definitely agree that just that little of a difference is actually a big difference in the end.


As far as the camber goes I was going to get those adjustable upper arms for the rear to bring the camber back into spec.


If the benz was being used for anything remotely performance related I would be against springs and I don't like the thought of cut springs but I merely just want the look.


Ill PM you later this week and we will link up. What part of San Diego you in? Im over in La Mesa but work at the Fashion Valley Firestone.

MrVu

Sounds good, I live in Lemon Grove so I'm pretty much next to you lol

Cali619

MrVu I can't figure out how to PM on this mobile site haha.

Anyways I was still interested in those springs if you had them?

Would you take $80 for them and I'll come grab them later today?

Lemme know.
