Hi,
Can someone quickly describe the above-noted difference in lowering height?
I called a distributer and was told super sport don't fit the coupe, I need to go with sport.
Is this true?

Thank you

The H&R Website lists both springs available for the C250 coupe, but only the sport springs available for the C350, and C63 coupe. [Note: These are for a W204 Chassis. I didn't see anything for 1971 w114. ]

I would then assume that the supersports will not fit your C350 Edition 1 (C204).

The sports would be MY go to, although the super sports may fit, it's not guaranteed and chances are it would reduce your tire size possibilities.

I ordered sport, will show you how it looks once installed. I dread that the front will be higher.

Maybe I can use pads in the back, does anyone know the part number of the different thicknesses?
Thank you

Can't speak for coupes, but when I put on Sports, there was no noticeable difference from the factory sport height. I was told to let them settle, but after a month, no difference. Of course, when measured it was something like a few mm and wasn't worth the cost. (on a by-note, the car handled much better than stock)
The Super Sports lowered the car to what I was looking for. I think H&R used the luxury edition to measure with, because the height on my car was lowered only about .75 in with them.
Good luck
