W210 springs on our car
Hey Guys,
I'm sure this is somewhere but guess Im kinda lazy to look around and hoping someone knows. I had read before that w210 springs are usable on c43's, Im wondering if this is true and if they are lower than stock? I currently have h&r with bilsteins, but Im over how low the car is even with the tallest pads. Im hoping to switch to lower than stock, but higher than it sits now. I was thinking if I can find some stock w210 e55 springs they may be perfect? but if someone has more knowledge around this I would greatly appreciate any help.

Thanks, but I want to raise the ride height of the car. As far as Im aware vogtlands are about the same ride height as H&R's.

Okay, can anyone tell me the best and most affordable place to buy Euro spec c43 springs?, after a little digging this seems to be the same thing. Help me out guys, Im trying to cherry out the 43 and keep it parked and the miles down, I'm on the hunt for a clean 202 c280 sport to use as my daily. Getting these springs is the first of many steps to get my 43 perfect. I really do feel our cars are on that cusp of being not worth much now but in 5 to 10 years I think the value will go up, and I never plan on letting mine go. Believe me I have tried but the thing is just to dear to my heart.

Do a search for euro springs in here. There is a thread that has the part numbers. All are available here as they were used on some other cars. If i remember correctly, E55 was not a 100% part number match (may have just been the fronts) but that doesn't mean that they won't fit. If you are in the US, you can use the online EPC to see what vehicle the springs were used on here.

Alright, after some more digging, the rear springs that you have listed are used on some W203 and W209 models in the US. I pulled up a C32 and it is one of 5 different springs that are listed for the rear. The options in the vehicle are used to determine which spring Mercedes used. The good news is that you should be able to order both pairs from any US dealer.

Keep the springs,add some spacers either in aluminum or poly.They work well and is an easy,cheap fix.Plus if you want to get back m your lowered look you dnt need to swap out springs.

I would imagine the dealer can source you any parts (if they are still available) and providing you give them the correct item #.
