Are w205 and s205 lowering springs (h&r) the same?

Curious to find out if any owners with 19+ s205 wagons have lowered their vehicles with H&R springs?

my s205 has the dampening controls but have found some part numbers which is for EU market only on T-models? US site does not show options for s205...

any help would be great!!!

The part number for H&R is 28811-4. And correct you’ll most likely find this part from the EU. I personally ordered from TunerShop. But these are non-adjustable, I’ve seen some guys install the H&R VTF’s not sure on the part numbers on those though. Hope this helps.




This is my car on the springs.

Thanks for sharing! That stance looks perfect for a wagon, IMO. How do the spring impact the suspension settings?

I am on 28811-4 as well. I have seen someone in Europe put sedan springs on and the rear actually tuck in a bit. If I could choose again, I probably would go with sedan springs. The weight differences between sedan and wagon is minimal, less than 80kg if I remember correctly. Unless u load your wagon up with hundreds of kg of stuff all the time, I don't think there is a problem

yes, with the part number only for the EU market, NA H&R can’t even order even front springs from a w205 are the same it’s only the rear for the wagons, which have a higher spring rate.

VTF springs already having a high spring rate and ability to adjust, compensates the difference.

Any concerns with the tire wear being lowered? I'm looking into the same springs on my S205.

with all springs having a set lowered height, most vehicles can still maintain either stock or very close alignment after lowering. With even camber and correct toe specs, tires will last just depends on how one drives after lowering.
