Hey, that drop looks very nice. Low enough to improve handling, and looks, but high enough to distract attention, rub, and scrape speed bumps.

Was ordering them a hassle? How much were they?

I am thinking of getting them.

Thanks,
Wy

Wyatt,
You can get them at www.carnewal.com-Owner is Gert Carnewal. He specializes in Porsche, as you will see on his website. You will have to email him directly to order them, as they are no where on his site. I paid 295 Euro...which is just a bit under $350.00 US includes shipping. Very fast too...arrived in about 3 to 4 days...and thats from europe. Good luck.

does anyone know the parts # and the price of the 1997 C36AMG Rear AMG shocks?

Thanks~

tpliquid

ther shox are either the sport shox or the HD shox form bilstin

oosix

They are Bilstiens but I'm pretty sure they r not valved like the off-the-self HD or Sports units. They're most likely valved a little differently to specs specified by AMG. Each shock tubing has "AMG" etched on the lower area. Also, they r not as short as the Bilstein sports units. Valving doesn't really increase prod cost but cuz it's "AMG", they're proly more expensive.

my friend just sent his bilsteins (m coupe) in for revalving..i think he said 50 bucks a shock...

oosix

Yip. Authorized bilstein rebuiding centers charge 55 bucks to rebuild a shock. During that time, they will work with you to valve compression &/or rebound differently if you want. No extra charge cuz the shocks have to be repressurized after they take it apart. At least that's what i remember the bilstein guy explained to me.

scorchie,

The "Euro AMG"-spec springs for the CLK55 are the exact same as the C43?

Do I use the part numbers above (Front : 210.321.22.04
Rear : 210.324.34.04) and they'll work fine?

Can these parts be purchased at a U.S. dealership?

I appreciate any assistance

scorchie

Well... I think you need to reread that whole thing.

There are lots of springs that Mercedes makes. Each spring may be used in multiple applications. The particular application may vary due to a wide number of reasons.

So, those part numbers are used in W210 E-class under certain circumstances. They are also used in a C43, and a CLK55 application. But the reasons for using those springs may vary. For instance, it may be used in a C43 with a certain set of options, and on a CLK55 with no options. Or the spring may set the proper ride height for Europe on a W210, and for the US in a C43.

Ergo, they are "identical" in some sense, but their use varies.

And how it works on your car, that will vary too. Your options, etc. make the weight of the car change.

I understand. Thanks for your prompt response. I have posted an inquiry on the AMG Club forum asking for assistance with part numbers.

In case anyone on MB World can help, I have an '02 CLK55 with no options other than the CD changer. I am seeking the part numbers for euro-spec front and rear springs.

Still seeking the part numbers for front and rear AMG euro springs for an '02 CLK55 with no options except for CD changer.

TIA

i have a 1999 C43, and while i was playing with my suspension, i picked up a set of the Euro Spec Springs for the C43. dont know the part# off hand.

you can have them for $200 + shipping. if they have any miles on them...its not more than 500 miles. i'm in california...SF Bay Area.

email: naim.bey@hillsdale.com

Chappy

Thanks. However, I am seeking springs for the W208 chassis (I realize some fit various applications, but want to make sure I get the correct item).....who knows....yours may fit, but I need to compare after I find the correct part numbers.

4ME AMG

no prob...there just sitting in my attic collecting dust. i will try and look up the part # for you just in case.

DC43

Hey Naim, Nice to see you on this link again. I see that you are probably back to your low suspension setup. If the euro springs don't work out for Chappy, I'd still like to pick them up.

Are you going to the Bay Area meet this Saturday?

Chappy

Much appreciated I'll buy them if they are the correct application.

One other question: Do I need euro-spec dampers/shocks when using the AMG euro-spec springs, or will my current CLK55 shocks work fine?

scorchie

I'll try to find the correct part numbers for you by the end of the weekend (holiday weekend you know).

I believe the CLK55 shocks are the same for US-spec and Euro-spec. Not positive about that, but on my 2001 car they are pretty stiff.
