H&R Springs
Go to Performance Products.com
H&R Springs $389
I would think labor would be a couple of hours.
Something like that, Im sure someone has already had this done.
I am in the process myself, I just bought new tires and wheels last week.

h&r springs can be bought shipped on ebay for under $275, labor should be around $400 avg, but some people claim to find it for $250 and under.

$1100 sounds pretty steep, I have Eibach, and I got them from D2 Technik along with install was about $400. $250 for the springs, and either $100 or $150 for the install...gl looking for another shop that will be more reasonable...i know location can be a huge factor in prices

Springs
should be matched with the proper shock.Diy for shocks is almost like the w210 diy on benzworld.org diy w210 section.
sport shocks at autohausaz.com or tirerack.

you need to get a good mb alignment when completed as your camber angels will be far off from spec and your new tires wont last long.

btw if you don't have the money to do it right,save for awhile nothing like a half assed spring drop to ruin a very nice ride
Eibach Springs - Pro-Kit, Mercedes CLK are only about $250 for the 4 springs at many online suppliers.You will also need pads to get the correct level front and rear.
Sport shocks are about $100 each.
