S205 Wagon Lowering/Spacers
Hi All,
Just looking for confirmation if anyone has used the H&R 28811-2 springs with 12/15mm spacers on a C43 S205 wagon?
I just want to make sure they work properly as some sites say they are made for the wagons and others say sedan only.
Thanks!

Also I have seen that the saloon HR springs settle a litte lower at the rear than the wagon specific ones do?
Any more info would be appreciated as I'm planning on changing my alloys and suspension to get the look I would like, But I also want the original wheels to be available to me once lowered.

I personally wouldn’t use sedan springs. My springs have settled to be the same tight finger gap front and rear. The wagon is heavier in the rear than the sedan so I’d be worried the rear would look saggy with sedan springs.

2020 C43 AMG Wagon
Advice from anyone that knows better
Looking to do a full set up on a new 2020 C43 AMG Wagon. Was thinking about a lowering kit (Springs) , 20" Wheels and slightly lower profile tires as to not increase the overall diameter. Also wondering if wheel spacers are a preference or will they inhibit wheel travel in the fender. Quite honestly, I am really not wanting the car to look like a "tuner" I want to keep it classy with the Benz AMG pedigree.
Any advice you could all offer would be appreciated.

I'm running 20" with lower profile tires and H&R springs. If you want 20" rims, you're looking at aftermarket in which case, you won't need spacers if you get proper offsets.

^ congrats! You’ll love it. All the info you’ll need as far as wheel specs are in my build thread and here:
https://mbworld.org/forums/c450-c43-...ent-guide.html
As far as springs, I don’t have any experience with Eibach, but have used H&R on my last 3 cars. IMO, perfect ride height and great performance. Can’t go wrong with H&R.

thanks for your help and the link. a very interesting read. it seem most people play it safe with 19’s although i do like 20’s myself and will try for them.
do you or anyone for that matter know whether my 2017 s205 is the same as your 2020. i don’t want to use your set up as a guide only to find i have issues due to a different model year.
wheel choice on these seems much harder than any cat i’ve previously owned imo.
cheers

they are 8.5/9.5 et 45/47. so i believe i’ll need a 15mm spacer on the front & only around 5 on the rear. i plan to lower with H & R also.
mid somebody could please let me know if this is good to go i’d be very grateful. thanks
