Already tried searching, so if youre going to say "use search" blah blah please dont bother.

Anyways im wondering if any spring kit or coilover kit made for the
W203 will work on our AMG spec models.

Anyone have the slightest ideaa?

The concern in answering your question is the use of "any". I would not use shocks from C180 on a C32. Can you be more specific? Is there a shortage of suspension parts for C32 or do you have you eye on a certain good deal that does not list compatibility with C32?

Short answer is yes, just don't get the estate one if you have a saloon. vice versa.

thanks for the replies guys, but yes thats what I mean... Can I use lowering springs from a c240 on my car? etc etc

There were years when C240 (w203 061) and C32(W203 065) shared suspension part numbers, including springs.

I'm not happy with my H&Rs, I would go with KW or PSS9.

Hi Guys, Still a bit of a newb.
1. How different is the shocks of the normal say c240 and the c32?
2. how will one know when the shock absorbers are finished?
Might need shocks soon hence the question.
Thanks and sorry for the blondness

1) not sure about the C32, but any non-AMG c class is going to be a softer, higher, and less sporty suspension than the C55. Not sure why anyone would want to put regular c-class springs on their AMG.
2) there are many different symptoms but the easiest way to tell is go to either front or rear of the car and use your weight to push it down and let the shocks retract. It should just return to it's original position and not bounce. If the car bounces a few times then the shocks are worn. One other way to tell is visually inspect them to see if any of the hydraulic fluid inside is leaking.
