**Feeler** Stock C43 AMG Springs
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

190E 2.6
Biting
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,

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

?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.)

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.

1) Which end is the progressive end?
2) Are Bilstein Sports a good choice to pair with these springs?
