AMG Springs vs. H&R Springs

Hi guys,

Can anyone tell me the difference in ratio between H&R springs and AMG springs? How does AMG spring compare to H&R springs besides the ride height?
Thnx guyz.

i recently had H & R springs put on my car. I have found it to be alittle bit more stiff, and with that handle alittle bit better. These changes were slight for me. Ride height is perfect for me, just have to more careful while driving around the city (potholes, etc) Now this difference was in the c55 platform, im not sure on the c32. I knew that out of the box the c55 is already more stiff, so i hope this was somewhat informative for you. i do recommmend it though.

either way.. h&R, renntech, brabus...

our C32's shocks are much softer than a C55...

The c32's suspension overall is not as responsive as the C55, but they sacrifise a bit of more stiff ride.

I think you will be happy with the springs. As I have said before, my wife never felt the difference when I changed my springs.


This car needs Swaybars. The body roll is more than I like. Probably my next suspension mod. But first I have to finish the engine.
