After doing extensive research on multiple forums (including this one) and along with messaging stance lab. I went ahead and ordered the super sport which were NOT listed to fit onto a 4matic. Ive had them on for a couple days now and have not noticed any problems. The drop is even on all 4 corners even without the 5mm spring pads in the rear. No funny noises even at high speeds well on the way to 120mph we heard nothing. I know there is a spot for this post in another topic but I just want to let the 4matic owners know that they will have no problems with installing these springs on their ride regardless of what the fitment says on the H&R website. Not bouncy its a stiff ride and you can definitely feel the road better... love it so far!

Well that is good news... anyone else use this similar setup?

Yup 4Matic here with SS. No problems at all, and the drop is perfect =)

Did you guys stay with stock shocks/dampers?

I have a 2013 c300 4matic, I want to throw on H&R Super Sports also. Which part # springs did you get ?

I wouldn't do it. If something goes wrong with the 4matic that is caused by the springs, you will guaranteed be paying over $9,000. All wheel drive is expensive. Also assuming since you have such a new car, you may have purchased warranty that could be voided.

2008 c300 on h&r ss too bouncy any suggestions

springs cancel out AWD basically, figuratively not literally. Not for me.

Not sure what you're getting at here... can you elaborate?

Adi-Benz

If it's your daily driver, and you have AWD, it helps in winter. But if there is 1 inch of snow, your sides and lips are gonna be holding you back.

Josh.A.Hussey

Ahhhhhh yes 100%. Lots of sh&t weather where I am too!

I agree... Thats why I had to get the coilovers... Low in the summer high in the winter .

How do coilovers work?

I don't research much on suspension so idk.

I thought only air bags allow you to adjust height?

myn8m3is8ndy

coilovers pretty much work by allowing you to position the springs to whatever is allowed by the strut. In doing so, your car will have a lower center of gravity, stiffer springs etc, giving you increase in performance and adjustable ride height. What most people neglect is that everytime you touch your suspension (raising, lowering, replacing, installing springs) you NEED an alignment or your tires will really suffer. Tires that were supposed to last 10,000, 20,000, 30,000 etc will be drastically cut to like 1/3 of that life expectancy.

sounds good, thanks for the info.
