1998 C43 Suspension Upgrade H&r Sport club kit??

Hi I have a 1998 c43 I was wondering if anyone ever installed the H&r club kit on their car? I heard its better then putting bilstin sports and H&r springs. I was also wondering if anyone ever put the H&r sway bars?I wants the car to be a daily use but also I will use the car on track.

As far as I know there is no kit available from H&R... same for Bilstein B8 and H&R sway bars... suitable for standard W202 but not for AMG.
You should order a KW kit!

H&R does make a cup kit as I almost bought it but the drop was way too much for my tastes...

I wonder if this was really designed for C43 and if so probably for US market only... When I check the manufacturer website, ther is only the suspension lowering kit 29377 available.

Found them on US webpages... seems to be for US market only. For Germany there is the spring kit 29377 available only. US product range is completly different.

I was thinking about getting this kit as well. I'm running h&r springs only with stock shocks. I want to go lower and stiffer though. May do the occasional driving event with it. Let us know how it works if you do install it

No coilovers exist for the w202. Springs and shocks are fixed separately

The KW kit are not coil overs as our cars will not accept coil overs without serious modification. People think they are coil overs because that is the picture that KW displays when you are looking at the KW set up on the website. The KW kit IS the best you can get for the W202 AMG, it consists of springs and shocks. The shocks are adjustable but you need to cut the spring perch to access the adjustment knob.

The C63 BS comes stock with adjustable KW coil overs, that speaks volumes about KW...
