What variant KW's question HELP HELP please.

I have a 19 C43 Sedan and want to lower it with coilovers. Which variant 1,2 or 3 should I buy and where is the best place to buy them?

Thanks

Tbh if it’s just to lower it just get a V1 or any lowering spring. They also have HAS (height adjustable springs). Unless u plan on tracking/racing then V2 has more adjustability and V3 has the most. It all depends on you and your purpose, budget, daily etc. I’m personally going to sell my H&R lowering springs for BC racing coilovers this coming spring. My purpose it to get it lower than that. So if you want it lower than this go coilovers if not springs are just fine.

My goal is just to lower it. I also want to maintain the factory ride control system. Meaning I don't want to have it disabled if at all possible. Thoughts?
Springs scare me becUAE I MAY NOT LIKE THE HIEGHT AND I CANT ADJUST THEM. HERE IS MY RIDE.

If you have the factory Airmatic system, just get “Lowering Links” it keeps everything you have just lower and adjustable. Ie if you press the suspension button and it lowers or raises the car get ^. If you end up getting any coilovers you Will get rid of all the factory options that came with the car.

What companies make lowering links? Does KW? Sorry this is my first time with a Benz.
Will the care need an alignment?

Thanks for the help.

Here’s a bit of info

https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...-airmatic.html

Most users use Ghostlinks

https://www.ghostmotorsports.com/pro...-c-class-sedan

again only if your car has Airmatic system you should buy theses. Some cars only change how soft or hard the suspension is but not the height that’s not Airmatic and if that’s the case get lowering springs if u want to keep the existing system.

here to help

What are you thoughts on these adjustable? Look like the work with ride control?

My car has ride control I dont think that means its an airmatic system???

for what you have and what you’re looking for yes these are what you should get. And no it’s not Airmatic.

c
there is a c43 forum.

nobody in here knows what they are talking about.

HR VTF or KW HAS are the best options.
