hi everyone
i am new to W209 came from W203.
i just got 05 CLK500. love it though need drop ASAP.

i found H&R coilover but it was used for 03 C230. part number is 29367-1.
will it fit on my 05 CLK500?

i will try to call H&R but i want hear from members on here too.
thank you

 

welcome. apparently they will fit because i was going to get the same ones from someone on the forum as well,and i heard of others that have done it . but when i contacted H&R to ask them, they did not recommend it because they were not designed for the W209.i already had H&R springs so i just replaced my shocks with the Koni adjustable.

 

thanks for informations.
i had first picture of my car.
its 05 CLK500. as you can see i need drop so needed also exhaust system. going to pick up carbon lip soon smoked signal is on the way.
help me out please.
special thanks to Jon your rims and grill is on my car

 

Definitely needs to be lower Chan! LOL. It is coming along nice, sooner or later it will look like a clone of my car.

 

hopely i could drop soon. yes cuz you mad me change my car to CLK.
thanks.

 

I've installed the W203 coilovers in my 320. I know the spring applications for the C230 and the CLK320 are the same, but they actually have a different spring for CLK500/550. There is a different designation on the end of the part number, but I couldn't tell you what the differences are. I don't know if it's because of the increased weight in the V8 or just a ploy H&R uses to deter reselling of used parts... IDK, that's my conspiracy theory.

At any rate, definitely needs to be lower!

 

thanks i mostly gonna buy 29367-1 soon. after i finsh major mod i will dip on your tips. LOL

could you tell me where people bend their fender near LA area? any good place to moddify ?

thanks

 

I found some guy on craigslist who did my fronts for $50! My rears were already rolled. It isn't rocket science after watching it done. If you have a heat gun you could do it yourself. You just have to apply constant heat till it's too hot to touch, then hammer it in gently. It sounds harsh, but it really isn't. A roller isn't even necessary for the front. The guy I went to lives in SD, but goes up to LA on weekends. He might be willing to goto your place and do your fenders. He's a cool dude. It took like half an hour and he's mobile. PM me if you want his number. If you don't trust him with the hammer, he has a roller.

 

You are right on that because I was almost bought the used H&R springs from CLK320 (someone from this site) for my CLK500 but then I found out its different so I ended up bought the brand new one from tirerack.
