I know that both Eibach and H&R make them - any authorized dealer ought to be able to get them for you. There is a write-up here:

Yes, I read this write up, but it was done for W164. I am wondering if these springs will work on W166 ( 2011- current). I called and e-mailed dealers of both Eibach and H&R and they can't confirm or deny.
