I need a listing of all available Springs and Coil Overs available.

I recently Picked up my C32. I will be putting some 19's on it. I would like to lower it down to meet the tires. I dont want the tucked look. I just want to reduce wheel gap. I would prefer a good coilover, seeing as I do autocross on occasion. But Coilovers are not neccesary. This is what I know of, and would like to get feedback. I have searched and read through alot of threads. But I have not noticed a compliation of this info. Thanks

H&R Springs (too low in the back)
Tein S. Tech's (havent found feedback)
Eibach (havent found feedback)
Vogtland (havent found feedback)
RENNtech(doesnt lower much)

H&R Coilovers
Tein Basics
Tein Super Street
KW Variant

Havent heard any reviews on the coilovers. I know alot of you have then but havent seen very thorough reviews.

Please help this newb. Plus if we can get some good collective info, we can post a sticky, for furure refrence by other newcomers. Thanks All.

The Bilstein PSS9 appear to be the concesus on what is the 'best' coil-over for this car on this board. Go somewhere else, and you might find it to be varied, but I bet not. Seems pretty consistenly the PSS9s. Pronounced "BIL-stine".

There is good discussion on this forum about the subject if you search for 'track' and 'suspension' and 'camber'...something to that effect.

Btw, according to my installer, the KW Variant coil kit over are all the same for w203 and w209 because the w209 chassis is based on the w203 chassis. These included, C230, C32 and C55.

Thanks, any feedback on the eibach springs. not sure if im going t5o start off with coilovers, maybe sometime down the road though. Main concern right now is getting rid of wheel gap.

get coilovers, so you can adjust the ride height to match your 19s

Exactly, no sense in modding the suspension over and over again until you get it right...I would know, I went Eibach springs, H&R cupkit, cut a half coil on cup kit, and finally TEIN Basics ftmfw!

If I were you, I'd try to figure out where you're going to get them installed and work out a deal. Otherwise, many of our sponsors here at MBWorld can definitely help you. If you need any help choosing a vendor, send me a PM.
