FS: Koni Yellow Adjustables / HR Springs

All -

I'm selling my Koni Yellows (adjustable) and HR Springs off my CLK430. Approximate drop is 1.5" all around. There is approximately 2000 miles on them. I rather sell these locally, but i still have the boxes for them... so I am willing to ship them. I'm asking 400 even for them or best offer. I'm not sure if my price is too high or not, but let me know. Rob's always negotiable :P

430/320 share the same aftermarket suspension, providing that they are both coupes or both cabs. The 55AMG uses the same shocks (aftermarket), but different springs due to the additional engine weight.

LOL... Thats for you to decide. I assume your calling me a liar? Anyways, my car doesn't even have 20k miles on it yet... and i bought the car when it was 15,xxx miles over a year ago and I put the Springs on over half a year of owning the car. So you tell me :P

They are still on my car and will be taking them off maybe next weekend.

The shocks and spring will fit a 320. But HR makes diff springs for the 320. Being that the 430 has a heavier engine, by putting these springs on a 320... the 320 will sit approximately 1.25" lowered vs. 1.5" lowered on a 430. The Koni shocks are for both applications.... no problem there.

Thanks,
Rob

H&R does not make different springs for the 320. Only the AMG and the Cabs have different springs.

Thanks,

what was your decision to change to the cupkit? just wondering because i thought it was too soft when i had it on my clk55. i think the h&r and koni might be a better choice. i am still debating for what kind of suspension to use for myself.

Feels the same. I barely drive the car though. The reason I'm going with the CupKit is basically to get a lower profile :P

Thanks,

.

Too soft?? .. but we live in SF..... roads aren't that great here. I was looking for something softer. Don't get me wrong.. the Koni/HR setup is great and not harsh at all ( I have it set at medium) , I just wanted to get a better drop. Maybe I should set the koni's to softest first and see how it goes?


Thanks,
Rob

rob,

the softness and the not so great road is the culprit of the tires rubbing the wheel well, i just touched up the front wheel well with some silver spray paint because it wore down to bare metal and began to rust a little. this was with the stock spring pads too. i was thinking that if the cupkit was that low it should have been a bit stiffer than what it was. but if you want low then the cupkit will work but you may rub when going over some bumps. just my experience with it

I have decided to keep it for now, until I get the BR5's on and then drop to 1 pads. I'll see after that what I should do if I dont like it. So far the offers are only for the shocks and I'm getting lowballed. So I'll wait. Sorry for any inconviences.

No suspension component from the w208 will fit the w203. However, the w203 and w209, are virtually interchangable.
