Wtb Shocks/struts/springs
Hello all,
I just took over my wifes car and made it my new project a 2002 c230 coupe. I recently changed the wheels to 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear. When I drive over certain bumps my rear tires rub on the inside of the wheel well just above the opening where the bumper meets the wheel well. I ground down the knife edge in that area and it helped a little but still rubs. I need to change the front strut bearings so I figured maybe I can change the suspension as well. Maybe I can get a performance shock so when I drive over the bumps the shocks absorb more of the shock therefore not pushing the wheel all the way up in the wheel well which causes the rub.
So I'am looking for shocks and struts for this car or a complete coil-over setup. Please contact me if you do.
Thanks

I got my shocks/structs and springs from my CLK500 w/13k miles on it if it fits?Basicly complete besides the front top/hat mount for the struct because I needed to use that for my new coilovers.
I don't know how much they go for so make an offer if it fits your car.
