Eibach Springs
This might be a stupid question. When I bought rims before for my old c class. it was a 2005 c230 Kompressor. The guy gave me springs for them as well but i never got them installed. Now that i have the C55 i have been looking around to see if those springs will fit my car now...
So can anybody tell me if the springs that would of have fit on my c230 will fit on my C55...
I suppose they should since they are both W203.
Thanks!!

03 g35 coupe...........02 c32 Sold
they'll fit..The front will probably a little more lower in the front in the c55 then the c230 since the c55 is heavier in the front.

C55
Yeah I was gonna say, it'll get the job done but do you want a regular w203's spring rates on a c55 with a different front end?

1. Springs alone will kill your shocks in 10K w/o an upgraded shock
No matter what eibach springs u had, C55 or C230K.

2. I think the C55 has the prefect ride height, why would you mess with it?

3. You should know that Eibachs are known not be as agressive as say H&R or KW's

4. Interesting boring little fact...... C55 stock springs are made by Eibach

No prob Gino
BTW Hydraulics is the correct spelling
wouldn't want you to embarrass yourself.

A Hydrolic is a person with an addiction to drinking water, you can see them all the time carrying a water bottle with them. In the morning, evening doesn't matter.

They're also more susceptible to hyponatremia.

I personally think our c55's have a pretty good ride height stock; but when you put 19"s on it makes it look a lil bit tall and I wouldn't mind reducing the gap just a bit...but because I don't feel like completely altering the suspension geometry, I'll just leave it as is until I can afford a set of quality coil overs, sway bars, camber kit, etc, etc.

(which makes me want to just save that money i would be dumping into the car and just trade in for a c63...)
