Hello, All!

I am looking to get coil springs for my 2007 CLK550 WITHOUT Sport Suspension.
Having a real hard time finding shocks. Do I really need to wait until I can dismantle the strut/coil and check if there is a marking? I would like to purchase new coils before I start disassembling.
Any good advice where to look? I tried the usual suspects but is is often not clear if they are for Sport Suspension, or not.

Thank you!

Im not sure on your specific car but on my W204 the front struts have a label on the bottom with the part number, and on the springs there are 3 painted dots on them indicating what they are. You should be able to just remove the wheel and look, may have to wipe some dirt away. My eyes are getting bad in my older age so ill use my phone to snap pictures of the parts them zoom in looking at them on my computer.

Or maybe take a vitis to your local MB dealer parts dept. When I was replacing my rear springs I was confused as to what specific shims to install, I pulled 9mm shims out but all the websites I went on recommended 13mm. gave my vin to the parts dept guy and he came back tellibng me indeed it came from the factory with 9mm shims.

Here are my specs. I cannot get to the sticker on the strut, but my front springs are marked with 3 yellow dots, which I believe is indicative of NO Sports Suspension.
