hey everyone. ive been a lurker on here using it to fix some issues on my gf's c32. i never could find a definitive answer if the springs work so im here to confirm that yes, they do. i decided just to order the h&r's with the 1.4" drop. been on the car and have had zero issues. the car now sits like it should. i kept reading that the c32 sat lower than the other models and that wasnt true, atleast in my case and plenty of others ive seen online. the cars are sittin true 4x4 style with reverse rake lol. hope this helps some people.

You have got to post a pic with that drop....I'd love to see it. I still haven't done anything to mine and was thinking about the part number 52732 for the C32 with the 1" drop. I'd really like to see the 1.4" drop.

Lighten up, Mr. Escobar. FrankW is a wealth of suspension and wheel information for the w203's, and he's bent over backwards to lend a hand to many, many "newbie" questions over the years (mine included).

IIRC, there have been some confirmations that the H&R parts are in fact the same for the models you mention. Probably a daunting search, though, since there's a new suspension thread created every week or two.

you are correct on what I was implying. I wasn't going to add anything to it since it's still a nice gesture to post relative information. however since you want to be a dick about it. here's something you should know before starting another thread.

as other have already stated this topic is well covered through out the forum including both the C32/55 and the W203 forum. There are even few threads that are dedicated to the topic on suspension. In those many threads it was already established that the springs and shocks are interchangeable between C32/55 and the rest of the W203. However some heavier spring rate may not be best for the W203 with lighter front end vise versa.

you pointed out you "searched" and found threads that went un-answered or didn't answer your question. now you know why we don't like noobs starting new threads with old topics every second to clog the search even more. It's these redundant threads that are making the search harder for everyone. It's always suggested to noobs to post in old threads they find that are closest to the topic they are looking for before making new threads clogging the search.

What do you think the next guy joining the forum is going to do if he's searching if the C240 springs will work on the C32? can't find his exact topic in search, so he starts another threads like this. "C240 springs, yes they work"
