Question CLK55 Suspension on CLK430

I have a guy offering me a set of CLK55 springs & shocks for $450, was wondering if it fits on the CLK430 and if anybody have a similar set up ??

thanks, Howard

I don't know about the springs, however, I have a set of CLK55 Bilstein HD shocks (used for only 3 months) that I'll give you for $200.

The springs are designed for a heavier (front) car. You should expect your car to be higher than his, and handle differently.

Would it improve the handling on a CLK430 ??

or its not worth a try ?

I don't know if it would improve the handling of the 430. On one hand, the springs are stiffer, but on the other hand, they're the wrong springs. I would recommend going with H&R springs.
