The part numbers are slightly different. The curb weight has a 100 pound difference.
I wonder if its safe to use CLK spring on my e300.
Let me know what your thoughts are

Thanks

There's a fine line between under damped and an overdamped system. Aftermarket springs are typically one size fits all, but now you're using a spring that wasn't even designed for the weight and handling of the particular car that you're using it on. There's probably multiple springs that can be used on that car based on the options of the car. And you want to use one that's no where close.

A hard firm no.
