The rear shocks of my CBS had blown recently, but all i find is the regular C63 parts...
Can anyone give a hint of where to source the original CBS rear suspension instead of ripping off by the local dealer
Thx in advance

You should contact ReinART Design. They're in Kowloon Bay, they've worked on a bunch of C63 BS themselves, can definitely help you find something.

I would recommend upgrading to some KW V3s or something, because OEM parts aren't going to be cheap at all.

If you do think of using the KWV3, or probably any rear adjustable spring, watch out for the fit in the top spring perch/mount. The mount is too big to hold the spring and top adjuster in place as far as I know. MB must use some sort of top cushion that will not work with the KWs. There was a BS owner here that tried this a while ago and could not make the rear KW springs fit.
Here is a link to the thread with the details.

^ I was just looking for that thread. Definitely worth the read for BS owners looking to replace suspension bits.
Hope you find something OEM in Hong Kong.

I don't know how I feel about KW in general though. I've driven on so many coilovers at this point, and KW's have NEVER impressed me.
I've driven V1's and V2's though, never V3's. Don't Ohlins come stock on the C63BS?
Unfortunately, there aren't many options for our cars.

So damn lucky. I'd do anything for a set of Ohlins... Outside of paying stealership prices that is.
