Lowering my W208
Hey guys I have a question regrading lowering my W208.. Does Tein make adjustable shocks?? I want a get the shock that I can adjust the height of the shock. Is there any company makes that? or If not then H&R spring with Koni shock is the best choice for our W208?? Any suggestions?? Thanks for the advice guys....

It sounds like you’re talking about coil overs. The W208 has a double wishbone front and a five link rear. Both ends have shocks (no struts up front) and the coils are completely separate. The coils control the ride height. Shocks control compression and rebound.
That's assuming you're not talking about the Praxis system. In that case, I've spoken to a Bridgestone rep at a press junket and asked if they anything in the works for Mercedes - they’ve built the Subaru and BMW suspension systems, and it sounds like Audi is next. The rep said there were no plans to build anything for Mercedes-Benz. They feel that MB owners don’t mod their cars, so there isn’t a market there. If you guys are interested in Praxis, email Bridgestone and let them know or they’ll never build a system.
