Sourcing suspension

Sourcing suspension
Hey guys. Been trying to do some digging on suspension components.
Basically, the only person who has verified their components (other than H&R spring kit) has been a guy in europe running KW Variant 3's.
He gave me the part numbers and it allowed me to source a HAS kit that matches his full coilover system.
I am in contact with a dealer (Supreme Power) who thinks they might be able to get them.
Now, technically - they are for a c450 estate, but they should work nonetheless, potentially with stiffer rear springs than desirable - but that is something I can overlook.

Hello,
We can get the KW coilovers for you. It is in fact the V3 and we have the part number. Special order from Germany so will take several weeks to arrive.
Thank you!

If you've got the standard MB suspension then I can understand going coilovers.
But with AMG's adjustable shocks, why would you want to get rid of that? They're one of the great aspects of these cars.

I think with the HAS you can keep your oem shocks. Someone correct me if I'm wrong?

Installing H&R springs here in the next couple off weeks. So for anyone that has installed springs on this chassis, how was it? More difficult/frustrating than other cars, average, or easier?
Any helpful tips or tricks?
Thanks

Let us know.
I will also be in Germany sooner than later - but hopefully they are actually selling them in the US by then.

We can get these for you, but we can't promise the fitment is correct. We see in the description it says it'll fit the C450 4matic, which means it should fit the C43 also. We can order the part, but if the parts won't fit, it's our name that will be ruined because we sold you the wrong parts.
Thank you for your understanding.

I also have a c450.
But, don't worry about it. You did more damage even posting this.
