I have the Bilstein/H&R setup up and it has been great! Can't go wrong with Bilstein.

search is your friend.

but there are other combination as well. eibach, konis, h&r, bilstein, vogtland. those are pretty much the big name.

and since the 203 shares with w209. im guessing either the older e class or c class will share the same parts.

also what are you looking for in your drop? lowered? comfort? haha check out my thread on the w209 forums. i compiled a list of different parts for the 209. im sure those companies make something for the 208s as well.

lol good luck your in for a couple of sleepless nights.
