Kleeman shocks have arrived.
My Kleemann shocks, H&R springs and Lorinser roof lid and trunk lip have arrived. I'll be installing them by Monday so I'll post some pictures and my consumer report. I just ordered 14" Kleemann brakes... those should be here in 2 weeks. MH-Dezent hood and grill and Kleemann SC are a few weeks away... I've got too much time...

anybody interested in a set of Bilstein HD (55 AMG) shocks?

They will fit a 1999 CLK 320 without a problem, CLK's are all the same.

Can you use Bilstein shocks along with H&R springs?

How many miles do your shocks have on 'em?

I'm not sure about H&R compatibility... I have 3000 miles on them. Anybody who wants them can have the four of them for $200 (+ shipping).

Bilstein shocks work well with H&R springs, but in a car the CLK's size, Koni Adj shocks tend to be a more comfortable ride.

Mach430,

This may be a dumb question, but do shocks affect ride height? If I get H&R springs from you and use Sleestack's Bilstein shocks, will my ride height drop 1.4" (as it would with the Evosport Stage I)?

Ride height is controlled by the springs.

The 320 has sway bars, however they are not as thick as the 55's. Putting the 55's on mine in combination with either suspension setup I had eliminated the body roll.

Are the sway bars on the 320 the same as the 430?

My guess is 99.9% that the 320 and 430 have different size swaybars!
Anyone confirm that for sure?

While I think that they sway bars are the same (320 vs 430), the MB parts guys at my dealers said otherwise. But they don't always have their facts correct. Has anyone measured the diameter of a 320 swaybar?
