Brabus spring
hi...
can anyone tell me what springs will give me this kind of drop(not too low; just nice) and the same comfortable ride ..
my friend told me if u want comfortable ride u should get springs from mercedes benz tuner like brabus, lorinser etc....is that true?
he also said that if i use eibach or h&r the ride will suffer...is he right?
thank you

clk 500
lowered my clk500 with brabus suspension, and it looks just like the pic you displayed.
the ride is still pretty soft. i had a 330ci, and that stock suspension is still firmer and rougher than the clk with the brabus suspension.

I'm looking to lower mine moderately too.
Think the Eibach offers the softest closest to stock ride (at least compared to H&R that is more sportier), whilst lowering it about one inch. But, Eibach is as far as i know not yet available for the 209.
Does anybody know when Eibach springs will be available
How much is the Brabus springs. From the comments, seems like Brabus also offers a comfortable ride, but they are proabably pricier than the Eibach's. Would go nice though with my Brabus rims (get them next week).

I am pretty sure Eibach springs are available for the W209. I have seen them on Tire Racks's website and on Eibach's own website (check the appliacation guide in the performance suspension section).

I called Eibach a couple of weeks ago. The person i talked to said they would not be available for at least three months. When i asked when, he didn't know anything but .... not for at least another three months. Sometimes you wonder what people know about the product they sell.
I seen the Tirerack, but i suspect its a typo and just a carryover from the 208 springs, not recognizing the model change in 2003. I should call them to confirm tough.
Thanks

I just checked the Eibach web page, and i was probably wrong. It seems like Eibach has springs for the 209. Good, as the research i done point to Eibach having the most comfortable springs when lowering. Brabus might do the same thing, but i'm sure they cost a lot more.
Thanks

Johan...
you may want to check the wheel, tire, suspension, and brakes forum....there is a lot of info on suspension components there.
I also plan on lowering my clk...(that is...once it finally gets here), so I am interested in hearing other people's experiences to date.
So if you lower yours sometime soon, let us know how it turns out.

Interesting. I checked the Eibach webpage, and the 203 C-class and 209 CLK springs had the same type number. Did'nt think the heavier CLK could us the same springs the the C-class, especially the 500.
Remember there was a prvevious question in this board if it's possible to use C-class springs in CLK ..... i guess it is.
