W204 C200 CDI
C200 CDI W204 Alignment Specs

I am about to install Eibach Springs (pro kit) to my C200 cdi (2011) but our alignment machine does not have specs for many Mercedes vehicles. Have contacted the aligner manufacturer here in Australia and they dont have specs, and Mercedes are not forthcoming in providing this information. Has anyone got specs for this model.....I can take the before readings then install springs and re-set but would be nice to know what the correct specs are in the first place before I start the job. Its on my own car, not a customer car. Hope someone can help. Thanks

When installing springs you don't touch any of the alignment adjustments. I installed coils on my car and took it for an alignment because everyone on here said I had to but the tech said everything was still in spec and didn't touch a thing. The only thing that changes is camber which can't be adjusted anyway. Throw the springs on and enjoy

Thanks for that....Yes, I understand. Guess i will just check the specs before I change them. I hope i dont have any camber issues if there is no adjustment. It seems that most forum posts say that they dont get any camber issues which is positive.

Here is the Target Data & before & after figures from my alignment from Jax Tyres Port Macquarie. This is on a 2008 220 CDI ,not exactly the same as yours but may give you some guidance.

Can anyone tell me how to get around the problem of not being able to upload a image. doc file twice on to this site? I change the name of the file & it still will not allow it
