Stock spring with Bilstein??

Hi amg fans!

I have Bilstein p16 suspensions on my c55 and an homologation for the suspension but not the spring and my car failed the test

Therefore do you guys know if i can install the stock amg spring on the Bilstein set up? Will it fit?

Thanks so much!

Doesn't B16 come with springs? What springs do you have now?

I have the Bilstein spring but the they are telling me the spring are not stock... I told them correct since they are from Bilstein they cant be stock amg

They want an homologation paper specifically for the spring or something that says they are stock!

When I got my PSS9, it included the homologation papers that covers the entire setup. Have you tried contacting Bilstein about this? The old springs should fit your B16 setup (but I'm not sure since I have PSS9). However driving with this mixed setup for too long is not recommended. Crazy recommendation but have you considered repainting the B16 springs into the OEM color?
