Hey all:

I just wanted to see if there was an interest in my stock springs. It is a good upgrade if you want slightly stiffer handling, and want to remain relatively stock in height. Height will vary depending on the C class model you own.

Thanks

I will bite but with a caveat. I have a 190E 2.6 from 93. I am trying to lower it but have not had much luck in terms of locating springs to do so--both H&R and Eibach stopped making spring for this ride a long time ago. And, suppliers are passing off H&R's 2.3 spring for use on the 2.6.

I know there are going to be a horde of detractor saying that your springs will not fit, and they are correct, but cutting them --discouraged by many, is one option i want to explore --I am a scientist, whaddaya expect .?

with all of this stated, how much are you hoping to get for them? And would you ship?

Thanks,

$100 plus shipping seems fair to me.

Hmmn. How much to ship? Do you know? UPS or USPS ground would work for me.

And, which payment method: iou, paypal, check, goat/buffalo skins, etc?

Thank,

Denlasoul

Honestly, I dont know. I can check UPS with a guesstimate, ground would be best unless you want the ASAP.

I can accept either paypal or check. With a check I'll wait till it clears before sending out.

Whats your zipcode, I'll check UPS/USPS

Paypal it is. Zip: 02472.

Thanks

Looks like $28-29 for a 25 pound package. Here's what I punched in:Shipping info

So the total would be approx 130 shipped. Lets do it. Paypal is fine with me. What is your user name, etc to correctly route the payment to you?

They fit fine, and cutting them will work fine too... and let you fine tune the height. Just note that they will be EXTREMELY EXTREMELY stiff for your car, especially after cutting to attain the desired ride height. Make sure you get some stiff shocks (preferably adjustable rebound) to tame those bad boys.

Also, you will need W210 spring shims (commonly called "pads" here) and make sure you cut the end first that isn't the progressive end.

(p.s. there are still manufacturers other than H&R and Eibach that make 2.6-specific spring applications.)

Thanks for commenting. A couple of questions:
1) Which end is the progressive end?
2) Are Bilstein Sports a good choice to pair with these springs?

Cool. I am at work but will check later this afternoon when I get home and take care of payment then. I am not sure how long it takes to be reflected in your account so look out for it.

Thanks,

Payment sent. Check your paypal account.

Thanks,
