Yeah, I was looking into this a couple weeks ago but I came up with nothing.

I was thinking... Since the suspension on the W202's are similar to the W124. Wouldn't KW Coilovers for the W202 or W208 fit then? Hmm... Something to look into and ask about...

I was at TWS again today... and talked to Sander's about the KW Coilovers. He told me they could have offered them in the past for the W124 but he's not sure but he's going to look into it for me. I mentioned it was for you as well. Anyways, I talked to him about the KW Coilovers for the W202. He said they will not fit at all. Oh well.

yeah i spoke to him yesterday. he said some fit but it depends on the spring rates. but even on the highest setting it'll slam the car and ungodly amount. im doing some research to find a close match and ill see what i can do. if they dont fit i can always turn around and sell them. atleast i can say i tried.

i think ill call him later to order suspension after i look up some things. im always looking for wheels which ill get from TWS as well.



and chris, where'd you get your amg spacers? im having no luck from google =(

Somehow my buddy at a local Mercedes Dealership found them for me. Don't even ask me how since he told me I couldn't get those anymore. lol

You should go with Benard's (CaliE320) custom spacers. They are made with better material and you can space them out more or less in regards to the different sizes that are available where as the AMG ones is just one size for both sides. Hit him up - he'll hook you up.

Also, let me know on the progress about the coilover set up if you ever look into it and actually try it out.
