suspension help
all,
I need some input/advice on what suspension (springs only) to put on my car, I plan to put 18's on it..(18x8.5F, 18x9.5R) ....I want it to look flush w/o sacrificing the ride if possible.....thx..

Fast Cars!
Well since u have a C55 there is really nothing that was actually tested on it yet. Sure the C32, C320, C230, and all CLK springs will fit, but no ones knows whats ideal for it yet. I was suppose to go to Renntech and they were going to take a look at my car and test out a couple and see if any would work best or if new springs should be made for the car. Although i dont know if i will get a chance to do so since i am looking for coilovers only right now. Although if stuff from the CLK55 works, it might be ok? but again, i am not sure whats going to be the perfect match.

The weight differential is negligible and therefore no spring manufacturer is going to make a special spring for the C55. Why would they? If you all remember, our beloved C32 uses 240/320 aftermarket springs!! and there is a much larger weight differential between our cars and theirs.
