Difference between CLK320 & CLK55 Springs?
Id like to know whats the height difference between them both? and if it would be ok to put the AMG springs on stock clk320 shocks?
Id like to go for H&R's but I think I'll leave that till next summer.
So for now I was wondering if I go with AMG springs..what are the difference etc.
Thanks

IIRC is is about 1 inch lower.
The springs are stiffer and the AMG front end is heavier so it might not lower it that much. You will have to do it and then drive it for a while (to let the springs settle) and the replace the spring pads to get the lowering you want.
Here are the spring pad details, MBZ makes pads in these sizes: 5, 9, 13, 17, and 21 mm and they designate them in their part #'s by numbering them 1 (thinnest), 2, 3, 4, and 5 (thickest). So if you look at the part #'s above that jives (second to the last dash #) with the measured difference in the ones that came off the car (stock ones).
Front:
210-321-01-84 5mm
210-321-02-84 9mm
210-321-03-84 13mm
210-321-04-84 17mm
210-321-05-84 21mm
Rear:
210-325-01-84 5mm
210-325-02-84 9mm
210-325-03-84 13mm
210-325-04-84 17mm
210-325-05-84 21mm
You should really replace the shocks as well, you will have to do it later anyway, higher rate springs with stock shocks will wear out the stock shocks and underdamp the suspension.
