Hello!

I hope everyone is doing great!

I am trying to find the right coil springs for my CLK550. There seem to be options for Sport Suspension and no Sport Suspension. And I am saying seems because the options for w/o Sport Suspension are very sparse.

Now, someone in the forum answered my question on coil springs with a counter question stating that they thought CLK550 was ONLY available WITH Sport Suspension. Is that a true statement? I was under the impression that even the CLK550 needed option code 486 to have Sport Suspension?

Thank you!

Oliver

 

Do you have the data card for your vehicle, it would list it there.

Doesn't look like you have the sport Suspension. It's not listed.

 

Yea, that is the conclusion I came to as well, until someone said they were under the impression ALL CLK550 had Sport Suspension. I pulled the tire and looked at the coil. It has 3 yellow indicators, which I think is also a sign that there is no sport suspension.

 

Sport suspension did not come standard until the MY08 CLK550. The 03-06 500 and 07 550 it was an option. Supposedly the car is lower too with this option. The 350's even had this as an option (Usually different wheels, front cross drilled rotors, and stainless steel pedals is an indicator).
