For Sale or trade HR lowering springs with front struts
I am removing the HR lowering springs and Struts from my C32. I've had them for about 4,000 miles. I'd like to trade them straight up for the stock coils and struts. I'll send pics if needed and the model of the springs, they're in the garage but it's cold out there right now.

Where are you located? I'd potentially be very interested in that.
Also, are you looking to trade just the front springs struts or front struts/springs and rear springs?
What type of struts are they?
How come you're looking to go back to stock?
Sorry for all the questions, and thanks in advance!

I'm interested in trading both front and rears. The struts are the stock mercedes c32 struts. The coils are HR. When I bought the car it came with Zinetti Wheels 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 rears. the rear tires are 265/35/18's. Just about everytime I hit a wallow or bump the rear tires barely rub the inside of the outer fender. Forget putting four people in the car. Anyway last week I found a wrecked C32 and bought the stock exhaust, all the electronic boxes I could find in it, including the CD player, thanks to this site, it was an easy install, the trunk wiring harness, just about everything I could grab. I've always owned BMW's and was happy with them being stock. So I'm in the process of returning this car to stock. I'm never on a track, I'll never be on a track. I do punch it occasionally, and am happy with that. I do have the stock rear coils, so actually I'm looking for the complete front strut assemblies. I'm in Wittmann Az, and I figured if I found a trade then each would just cover their own shipping and we'd swap.

I'd be interested in trading springs with you, but I don't see a reason to trade stock struts for stock struts.
Also, the car is my daily driver, and I assume yours is too.
I personally can't afford to have the car sit on jack stands for days, and i don't think you can either. I just don't see how we could make this work, as much as I'd like to.

Over the weekend I removed the coils from the struts, I bought the entire wrecked C32 mentioned in my earlier post which included the struts and coils. The only things missing from the C32 was the engine and transmission and wheels. So, now I have a set of HR lowering springs that I don't need and would like to trade for anything of similar value, Things I do not have but want are headlights in good shape, AMG floor mats, the teleaid wiring, fitted windshield sun visor, used OEM wheels. Basically I have a whole C32 if anybody needs anything let me know. I'll pick it up after the new years. I plan on taking the seats, the door panels and center console that goes between the seats. I have a good set of working seats in my current C32 but the others are two tone and I like that. I haven't googled the cost of the lowering springs I have so I'm open to fair trades.

Got it. Thanks for the explanation!
I have a set of good condition frosty OEM HID headlights that I'd be willing to trade for the lowering springs. What do you say?
I honestly am not sure how close in value the two items would be, but can't be too far I'd imagine.

Do the frosty ones have the HID low beam and the H7 bulb high beam? I've been looking to replace my headlights and that's what I have but aftermarket with the ballasts off to the side. Let me know and I'll ship the springs to ya.

I honestly will have to check, but that sounds about right. They're OEM 2002 C32 HID frostys. I actually just bought new 5000k bulbs since the original ones were old and had a purple hue to them, and bought projector lights shortly after. I think I have aftermarket ballasts in my garage, which is all i really need to complete the headlight swap, which means I'd be able to mail the frostys to you.
Let me make sure they have no broken tabs or anything and take some pictures for you to make sure they are what you want. I'd hate it if you received them and weren't satisfied. I'll PM you the pictures shortly.

Since you're kinda parting out the C32, would you part out the driver side power seat motor or module? My driver seat would no longer move forward or backward but will still go up and down.

I will definitely part out the module, but it'll be in January after the 2nd. But no later than the second week of Jan. I also have a set of front seats. No tears, wear or anything. everything works on them except the driver side heat doesn't work. Passenger seat heats up fine. I'll keep you informed as we get closer to January.
