im not looking to drop my car. im looking for better handling. im keeping my stock wheels, i like them. i want better handling, not a slammed look or even lowered. ive read the AMG springs will give me better hadling and with my AMG sways i should have better handling then when i first bought the car.

It should be tighter the rule is
If you increase spring rates the handling gets better.
Let me know about da meets, I will bring the Imperial Fighter

According to the official AMG website they supposedly sell shocks and springs specifically designed for C-Coupes (which should eliminate any problems regarding weight and fitment).
amg suspension
I'd ask Steve about obtaining these parts (part number B6 603 0011) instead of using second hand ones from the C32.

My AMG c32 Suspension just came in today. It has the front springs and shocks and rear springs and shocks. Also included was the thick rubber ring that goes on top of the rear springs. Is there anything else I need to get before I install them. I also have that special tool needed for the front 2 shocks. DO I need any disposable items like grease, etc.. Any help is appreciated. I plan to do the install myself.

W203 Re-build
Mr sunman!:
While you are doing the front suspenssion, while you are at it, you should also install the front AMG brakes you have on your signature that are listed "to be installed" ... for that you will need to bleed the brakes, lines, etc, etc.
I've done suspenssion upgrades on many cars before... well... not the "sunman" suspenssion upgrade which is better as you do it yourself, I just paid and watched someone else do it..... after your new suspenssion is in, then the alignment which you will get a lot of feedback as "to do it" or "not to do it", however, it is always recommended you align your car after you complete the work (imagine if the cars built would be sent without alignment... just pure "eye" check... hmmmm... same is when you replace your suspension )
Once you have your AMG suspenssion, You WILL notice the difference in the firmness and overall better handling
Cheers

cost on AMG C-Class COUPE Suspension
perhaps Steve or someone can point me in the right direction...
what should I be paying for a C-Class Coupe / AMG Suspension kit
I believe part # is: B66030011
what all comes with it? (gas-pressure shock absorbers, fine-tuned torsion bars, bushings, etc... ???)
also, anyone have the part number for the AMG Sway bar ?(Coupe)
and approx cost ?
looking to have EVOSPORT or lowest qualified bidder install,
all at once with AMG C32 brakes
