C36ickness

Does anybody have experience with these? H&R is selling this for the C43 and I'm getting one soon and I want to lower it. Says it drops it 2 inches thats fine with me but is it going to be ricey or still have that sporty feel? And also the camber I know its going to change badly but anyway of fixing the back I know the front is adjustable. And sorry they would be combined with Bilstein Sports and 18" monoblock AMG's. Part number is 52727-77. Thanks a lot guys.

6ickness any update on the H&R super sport spring with Bilstein sport shocks? I'm planning to run that same set up. How's the ride and what size pads did you use?

if you guys wanna wait h&r is releasing a "cup kit" for the c43. 2.0 front and 1.9 rear. one of the guy's at h&r just picked one a c43 and they have a set on his car. they did #3 pads and 18's i think. retail is 885 i believe. (4 springs, 4 shocks).

Sorry guys nothing yet. My front shocks were bad on the 43, and the 18" monoblocks were scraping so just put in place some Sachs boge shocks and they work great! Funny they were only 50 bucks a pop. I Can't lower it yet little tight on the budget. But I'll update as soon as I can. Just to remind you car is stiff already and handles great even with Boge's, might not need the shocks unless your running 18's cuz you might run into some scraping issues as well but if you just have 17's all you need are the springs. hope that helps. Also try Vogtland springs heard a lot of good things about them good price to. Hope that helps

Also guess what happened recently on the 36! Bilstein Sports and H&R springs. maybe a pot hole or somethin?



Got it welded up, squeaked like crazy drove me nutz

Vicious_c43

Ouch. That's painful to see, hope you get it fix.

It's funny that you brought up vogtland b/c I've been eyeing their product as of lately. They have 2 kits available for the C43 (complete kits 4 springs & 4 shocks) and price is not bad.

1. Sport suspension kit # 969451
2. Junior suspension kit # 960085

Has anyone bought or tried these products on their C43? I almost bought one Monday but I don't want to be the lab rat.

frostie_122

heard it's good stuff. its a all in one and the factory setup is separate locations for the shock and spring. not sure that it really maters. h&r is a factory replacement just lower and stiffer. maybe better for the factory geometry?

I will try the D2 coilover for my C43 wagon... I think they will work just fine. Whith that kit I can set how much I whant to lower it!

frostie_122

heard mixed reviews from d2 also known as ksport i believe. let us know how they are.

C36ickness

Hey Vicious you should ask trinitony for a picture of his C43 looks great with the vogtlands. I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with that setup on my C43. And S500R Love your 43 also looks great. And again have to congratulate you on your project.

Vicious_c43

Thanks guys!!

I know we are crazy about our C43's...I've enjoyed and adored mine the day it got delivered. I'm getting some work done soon just waiting on which spring and shocks my ride will be sitting on. The vogtland kits looks promissing. If I decide to get those I'll let you guys know and I'll post pics of the product and after install.

Vicious_c43

Pulled the trigger...guess I'll be the lab rat I ordered the Vogtland Suspension kit #969451 today it will ship Friday. Good price free shipping / no sales tax. I'll use that money to buy the pads. Okay I need feedback I'm thinking of running #1 pads all corners, any suggestions?

Can't wait I should smoke a cigar but I'll wait after install

trinitony

I have the V and run #2 pads front and rear - jdhertz11 also has the V springs but runs #1 front and rear..pics in couple threads below..

Vicious_c43

cool. what kind of shocks your running w/ the V's or did you buy the same kit I'm getting? Any rub issues? Also is their a part # for the pads dropping by the dealer this weekend. #1 are usually how thick?

Thanks man!

trinitony

we're running the stock HDs with 18's staggered and no rubbing...

all number 1, 2 etc are not the same...you have to know your vin# to get the correct number 1 pad for your car...it sounds ...do a search, it's been discussed before...

trinitony

my bad, jd is running #2 in the rear

Vicious_c43

BTW I like your stance I might go with #2 pads instead.

ProjectC55

Any rubbing issues with the Votgland's?
