TEIN Super Street for C32?

Anyone has Tein SS installed on the C32 yet? Seem very popular choice among the non Amg W203. The PSS9 is proven on the C32 but the TEIN price is very attractive. Comment please.

Price include shipping to Hong Kong:
PSS9: US$2050
H&R CO: US$1300
TEIN SS: US$1410

You already have Bilstein + H&R. Mind me ask why are you considering the coilovers? I don't think it will benefit your car that much in Hong Kong (I'm from Hong Kong too)

doesn't look like those price includes shipping. Shipping to HK is about $350-400 for these large/heavy packages.

either way, if you are making a choice, you can't beat TEIN SS for the price. They are damper and height adjustable.

My current Bilstein+H&R setup is too soft for my taste. I also might need to get a stock front swaybar, because my car came with Eibach front bar and stock rear bar.

I asked a shop before and they said that Tein didn't make any coilover for C32. Please check that

Seems like Carlsson, PSS9, Tein are made for C320, but they should fit fine on C32.
Most people from the W203 forum said Tein SS provides stock comfort when set near middle. I am afraid it might be too soft for me even at max setting. PSS9 is harder than stock even at low setting.

Tein SS for C32

I have a '03 C32 that I'm considering getting new coilovers on. I find the stock setup way too soft and lacking precision.

I was thinking Bilstein's or the Carlsson (though expensive)

I then read drexappeal's thread on the TEIN and sounds like a good set up.

Has anyone had luck with using the Tein SS for the C32? I see them on eBay for the C320 at $1220, which is about $500 cheaper than the Bilstein's and probably $1000 cheaper than the Carlsson's.

Wondering what other's experience has been.
