C43 w202 Vogtland springs
Good day to you all! I joined mbworld recently. I ordered the vogtland springs for my 99 c43 today. I am pretty sure I have to also purchase different spring pads to make the springs fit. Is that true and if so what size should they be? Or can I just run the vogtland springs with the stock shocks and pads? Thanks I appreciate the help!.

stock shox and Voggie springs is a no good combo.
you need shorter sport shox
koni yello or billy b8's for you, i run koni's and love em
vogtland springs for C43 AMG #952079
i run #1 pads front and #4 pads rear = gives 0.75 -1 finger gap on wheelarches = seksi look
you should invest in adjustable camber arms for proper tirewear, maybe doing a full suspension overhaul like i did just to get full synergy with the rest.
now i get this tight gocart feel when i drive my car.

That pretty much sums everything I need to know. Lol ill look into the shox and pads. Is there a specific part number for the pads? Or measurement? Im planning on doing everything myself even if it takes a couple days.

I just bought the nbr 4 pads for the rear and the adjustable rear arms suspenson because the car now has negative camber.
Hope this wld fix the problem.
Car feel harder, obviusly with the prevois config was smooth, but i like the low look, i expect some improvement on the rear with the arm and the shim pads.
Thanks

C43 AMG with a tune up
It's always a trial and error when it comes to suspension ride height adjustment.
Looks like you have a European W202, your front bumper has sensors for parallel parking, you have it in the rear too?
This is a nice feature which many cars don't have.
It's a nice option, it comes very handy for narrow parking

yes, that one. I tried to clean it and disambling the thing I broke the plastic cover. It was bad because of the sun effect and years.

Did you go to dealership?
Do they still sell this part?
If not, junkyards is your best friend.
When you removed the center display, did you pull it right up and it came off?
Plastic housing is broken or the display is busted and non visible?
