Hello all, I have a couple of questions about the B&G Lowering Springs. My first question is that the person selling them claims that this set fits all W-203 Chassis Benz's, is this true? Secondly, are these springs any good? My last question is I will be able to get a set for $200 no tax, is this a good price for them you think?
Any help is appreciated.

i am not familar with b&g, but is there some reason that you want to buck the trend of h&r? you own a mercedes, and 50 bucks isn't worth chancing on a potential inferior product imo when you factor in install.

B+G, a Swedish company, makes OEM springs for Saab, Volvo and Volkswagen. They also make aftermarket springs for a variety of cars, and also coil over kits. Their springs are certified ISO 9000, ISO9001, and ISO9002. They are also certified by the TUV. B+G is Europe's largest maker of coil springs. They have been making springs since 1852.

... hmm, yep, sounds like an "inferior" product to me

Not sure what to think now

Where in Toronto are you getting this???

Its actually a guy I know on the internet

You own a mercedes and not a honda, I would get the best possible product and the most recommended. I have H&R springs and they provide me with a great ride. I purchased my springs for $230.00 and got them installed, $400.00 total. I'm sure you could find a better price out there.

Im going to go with H&R's most likely, I was just kinda curious in the quality of these B&Gs. Who sells H&R's the cheapest on the net?

KJ-TypeR

It'd probably be cheaper to buy it from a shop in Toronto man. There are TONNES of shops in Toronto that sell H&R products.

You know any good ones around? North York if available? Im new in T.O

B+G is a Swedish product which means it has to be good Actually never heard of 'em before. Stick to the H&R and you can't go wrong.

KJ-TypeR

I dunno any good shops that have lots of experience modding Mercedes', but I know a lot of shops that can sell you H&R springs.

Problem is that it'd be cheaper if you could find a shop that could sell you the springs AND install it (since they can give you a package deal).

It'd be less than $500 cdn installed for sure.

You said you are new to Toronto. Where did you move from?

QC1

I lived in Toronto until the age of 13 then I moved to London. I stayed in London for University while my family moved back to Toronto. Im in London during the year for University and during the summer I go back and forth from London-Toronto-Hamilton for work but I spend most of my time in Toronto during the summer. Thats my life in a nut-shell

KJ-TypeR

You coulda just said you went to Western instead of "University in London" =)

I don't know of ANY shops that specialize in Benz's in Toronto...I would like to find one though.

I think my friend might know of one. I'll ask him.

I heard H&R springs are way stiffer than Carlsson and Eibach. I don't want a stiffer ride...just a lowered front end !!!

Personally with the C-class I'm looking for ride quality not Corvette style handling&ride quality.

You might consider the Kleemann progressive rate springs.
