H&R COILOVERS

I contacted this company and confirmed these are for the W204 C Class.

I need a favor. My grandfather is in the hospital and I have no time to get more info. If someone could find out if there is a retailer in the U.S., and get a price, you would be appreciated. Orange Tuning said they could ship via UPS in 2 days, however, I don't think they are in the U.S. No offense, but I am not buying another thing form an over seas company. If I have time, I will call H&R tomorrow.

These guys have a set up too:

Coilovers appear to be available from H&R, XYZ, Carlsson, KW and K Sport. Still no struts or shocks.

Thanks. He is doing well. He was in a car accident. He insists on driving older American cars for "safety." During the accident, he was going less than 15mph, and the airbag in his big older car, hit him with such force, it broke his nose and C7 vertebrae. It also cut the sh*t out of his face. He had to have his C7 fused with a metal plate inserted through the front of his neck.

When I saw him two days after the accident, I thought it was the last time I would see him alive. He went into surgery on Tuesday and pulled through. I saw him yesterday, and he was talking and joking around. I couldn't believe it. He's been a tough old guy for as long as can remeber. He's 81, and that was his first car accident. Needless-to-say, he is not going to drive again. I think he is still very able. We just don't want anything close to this happening again.

Anyway, I did call H&R. The rep said they are not available in the US and would advise against ordering them because the may not fit US cars. I don't know how that could be. Anyway, I tried folks. I guess the wait continues.

Thanks guys. He's doing quite well. TrailOr, his car had first gen airbags. The new ones are much easier on the body.

I am truly sorry to hear about your grandfather, Derspeed. My prayers are with him and your family for a speedy recovery. If your grandfather's injuries are excessive, perhaps you can pursue legal action...? Just a thought.







On a side note, I'm now thinking maybe I'll just wait for H&R to release a Cup Kit. No adjustment capabilities, but it'd be a simpler solution, I think.

Sorry to hear about your grandfathers accident but glad that he is doing well. I have a friend who was in an acident years ago and when the airbag deployed it broke her nose so badly she now looks like a washed up prize fighter.
