Shocks for C43 with H&R springs
Has anyone experience with shocks for C43?
I was driving my C43 with H&R springs and standard shocks in past and wanted to update my shocks now, but the standard one is very expensive...
I bought Bilstein B8 Sprint now. The length is fine (2cm shorter than standard), but especially the front shocks are much to soft.
Koni told me they don't have shocks for C43.
Is there any other?

Koni has Sport shocks for the W202. I'm not sure whether they specifically state they will fit a C43, but they will. If the weight of the V8 is an issue, W208 CLK430 shocks should fit.

Here are the shocks you need, I just bought them for my C43. Just like the guy said these are W208 and stiffer for the heavy motor:

I wonder if these Bilstein B8 shocks for W208are better than the one I have for W202...
It is the same part number of the shocks for w208 CLK200 with the light 4-Cylinder.
