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.

Why when you can buy brand new Volkland springs from ebay or any aftermarket supplier that are stiffer and probably only a few hundred bucks.

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.

Don't forget the E55 is a bigger and heavier car, so I would imagine the springs would be stiffer to deal with the extra weight.

I actually dug this info up back when you did your thread when you were putting the KW's on.

Quote: Front
Spring:
- Black colored with 1 yellow stripe and 3 white stripes painted on the exterior side of a coil (middle of the spring)
- Length overall: 345mm
- Diameter of coil: 16mm
- ID#: N 210 321 2204 HH1 (and a small MB star emblem at the end)

Shock:
- Black colored with Bilstein label at the bottom end
- AMG engraved bellow the Bilstein label (justifying AMG price )
- 2 ID#
1) A 202 323 4100
2) 9 8329 1848T001 (Bilstein internal reference #?)

Rear
Spring:
- Black colored with 3 blue stripes painted on the exterior side of a coil (middle of the spring)
- Length overall: 320mm
- Diameter of coil: 14mm
- ID#: W2 210 324 3404 HH1 (and a small MB star emblem at the end)

Shock:
- Black colored with Bilstein label at the bottom end
- AMG engraved bellow the Bilstein label (justifying AMG price )
- 2 ID#
1) A 202 326 3000
2) 98252 1849T 001 (Bilstein internal reference #?)

Quote: The front springs you have listed are in fact the W210 E55 front springs. Dead on match according to EPC. The rears are not W210 E55 rears though. The E55 rears are 3204 and 3304 versus the 3404 listed for the Euro C43. I'm gonna keep digging and see what I can find.
Quote: 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 #.
