Normally any w202 estate chassis should do, but be prepared for some complications as the brakes are different, transmission, harness, radiator, etc., etc. and the list can be pretty long
I have a w202 c240 estate and I will be swapping the old AMG springs and shock onto that vehicle next week, since I have upgraded the 43 with KW suspension parts.

I love every minute of driving even if on bad road surfaces, I may get a loose tooth filing from time to time, but the positive side is a 100 times more than some short "bad" moments from time to time
