not sure if the avantgarde has the same suspension as the 320 430 and 55 but from what I remember if you go to the dealership with your vin they should be able to look up which version of spring you need with the correct corresponding marks and color codes ie. 1 red 1 grey (202-321-18-04) front coil right left.


210-321-12-04 is without the clk55 amg package front right left

208-324-01-04 sport suspension front right left

208-324-00-04-64 replacing 208-324-00-04 rear coil spring 2 red marks

202-324-17-04 1 grey mark light weight sport suspension / standard suspension rear left right

Spring compression tool

Does anyone have the special Mercedes spring compression tool I could borrow? I’ll pay shipping back and forth to Missouri, USA.

Also - be aware there is a rubber spring bushing above the springs and it comes in 4 different heights. It is difficult to find exactly which one is on each car.
