Tein SS Coilover!

Hey everyone... Getting the Teins on my ride soon... The kit is for a w203 c320 but Albert at The Wheel Supply told me it will work just fine... I'll give you guys an update on how it looks and performs in a day or two... I hope we can find some more mods for the w209 chasis... Because ****... There just arent that many mods out there for our cars... Especially the 350 engine series ... Well yeah post you guys on the progress PC outttt

For some reason I thought that Tein SS Coilover's were for the 320/350 only. I guess I was wrong. What did they run? I love the slam. Good job.

You are correct.The Tein SS are for the 320-350 but since the 209 share the same chassie,it will work just fine.I just don't inderstand why Tein company tells ppl it won't work?...oh it setted me back $1,400 installed.

your car looks good. the only thing that sucks when you go with a huge wheel is that you can not put in rear spacers. that is why in the rear your wheels are tucked inside the fender. nice clean car though.

All the posts in this thread kept referring Tein SS COs only that'd fit W209 CLK320/350/500. Would it be the same for W203 Tein Basic COs?
