NEW SHOCKS! C300 Sport with Eibach Lowering springs and Koni Yellow shocks!
Hey Guys,
So for anyone looking to replace their OEM shocks I have upgraded to adjustable Koni adjustable Yellow shocks.
They come originally set at their softest setting, I left the fronts as is since the EIbach springs have a 30% plus increase in rate on the front compared to OEM springs.
I have the rear adjusted to one and half turn for added stiffness. ( Eibach springs in the rear have around a 12% increase in rate over stock)
First impression:
Planted! just such a smooth planted ride, wish I would have upgraded my stock shocks sooner.
I took a weekend trip down to Long Beach and its been the most enjoyable ride in the one year I have owned my C300.
Side note I'm also averaging 34MPG on the highway for the first time.
Highly recommended!
Wheel and tire set up:
19in HRE 8.5 front 9.5 rear
235/40/19 Michelin 4s front
265/35/19 Michelin PSS ( soon to switch to 4s)

was just looking at these shocks. Had originally planned to go with the Bilstein B8s but they are near impossible to find. I’m curious how much you can notice the damping changes. Are they real or fairly gimmicky?
car looks great as always! 👊🏻👊🏻
Thanks! The adjustments are actually noticeable id definitely recommend these shocks.
Ill be adjust my front shocks this week to one full turn towards stiffness.
Looks to be a nice setup, I had a set of Koni Yellows on my VW Gti and it was great! The difference of the full soft/firm was good. Soaked up bumps pretty well.
Car looks great! Did you end up getting a alignment after install and if so do you have any excessive tire wear or camber issues? Did you have to buy any additional parts to get the alignment on the car near stock? Thanks

Thanks, I did need an alignment which is always recommended when replacing shocks. There required an alignment kit which ran up me $100 from SPC .
