AMG euro-spec springs - W208 - First Impressions

Ok so the Euro spec are going to run me 460 with exchange rate. The H&R sports would run me 290. The thing I am wondering is why when you lower it with the Euro Spec Springs (ESS) why there is no tire wear problem, but what I see with the H&R is camber is off and causes wear. Both would seem to change the geometry.
Chappy how did your alignment turn out after your springs?

Well that would be interesting, I would go ESS if it did not mess up the alignment where it could not be reset. From what I hear if I go H&R I have to do a camber kit which will be way more than the ESS and an alignment. I was reading people getting 6-8k miles off a set of tires before they had to toss them from poor alignment.

zoom on -- fyi, you may be able to get the euro springs from your local MB dealer. just try to get the part number and then call them. i know that the euro springs for the C43 AMG are available at US dealers (as a 210 part) and they cost something like 50 bucks each. just dont call referring to a "euro spec" part ... they wont know what youre talking about. thought youd like to know.

That was probably two computers ago....
I may have posted it here previously or had gotten a response from the kind folks over at the AMG Owners Club (Germany). I don't have it saved on this computer, sorry.

Does anyone have the part # for the Euro Springs??? When I check this russian Website it gives these part #'s for a CLK55 W208.
Front: 2103213204
Rear: 2083240204
Are these the part #'s for the euro spring?? If so I looked them up on oemparts direct dot com and they came up.
There are at least 5 people who have these springs, doesn'y anyone have a part #???

Let us know if you get some definitive information. If you order those springs from OEM parts direct you may wind up with the exact same springs you already have on your ride....(the U.S. height version). My suggestion would be to contact Gert or mbenz.nl for assistance.

Chappy,
When you received your springs from Gert, didn't they have part #'s on them?? Or didn't he send you an invoice with part #'s on them?? How about anyone else that has bought springs from GERT.

On my quest to find part #'s for the elusive Euro Spring, I been in communication with GERT, but the funny thing is. He is being just as elusive. He doesn't want to give me part #'s. Here is his reponses from email:
Hi,
I don’t have the part nrs. I order these from my MB guy using the full description of the car.
Regards,
Gert.
Here's another:
Why do you need part nrs ?
Here's another:
Just curious, how do you check the part nr from your original springs ?
I know they have colored dots to point out the tolerances.
All of these replies tell me one thing. There is no AMG Euro Spec Spring. It's probably just a set of springs from a different model that fit perect and lower the car just a bit. But he sells them to everyone and makes a killing. The only reason I have been checking into to it is because I don't want to go with H&R's, but with todays exchange rate the So called Euro Springs would be about $460.00 shipped, thats about twice the price of H&R's. I believe if I could just get the part #'s I could order them from a dealership here and spend about $300.00. So for all you guys that have installed the Euro spring, somebody help and give me some part #'s. THANKS!!!

Well after searching hard I finally found post with Euro Spec part #'s. Here is the link:
https://mbworld.org/forums/showthrea...hlight=springs
Turns out the front springs can be bought for $180.00 from Oem Oarts Direct. The Rear springs aren't in their system. I will check into at my dealer. I believe they can't be much more. If thats the case then these springs can be purchased here, plus it loks like the front springs are an E-CLASS Spring. I'll let everyone know what happens. No reason to spend crazy money on a set of springs.

The part numbers you have are the correct for the european 208 CLK55 AMG.
USA version of CLK55 AMGs have different part numbers for the springs and these changes along with the options you have on your car and the designated model number within the CLK. But most importantly, you will have to order a new set of pads as well to get more low ride. or you could just use the pad to lower 0.5 inch from your current spring. What is it that you want? How much do you want to drop your car?

Well I I talked to Steve and he confirmed those part #'s. He told me he can get me the rear for $150.00. He said he could get the fronts as well, but they were available in the USA. So I am going to order the front today from my dealer and order the rear from Steve. For a grand total of $318.00. I knew there had to be a cheaper way to get these springs. Not that I didn't trust GERT, but with the exchange rate it is just out of control.
I want to drop the car an 1" at least, Plus I just don't like the way the H&R's look, I feel they drop the car way to much and make it look ricey. I'm sure the ride with H&R's suck too. Way to rough.

So did he say how long before you got them? I would be curious how much it drops the car. Hate to say it like this but I will see how yours turns out and what you think. Please keep us updated.
