2006 C230 SS
WTB: H&R Lowering Springs w203 ~!

looking for some springs for my w203 .. h&r or eibach - new / used doesn't matter.

no tein springs though, because it wouldn't drop my car much from my sport suspension

thanks!

I've got a front pair of '05 C230 SS springs...probably won't lower your car.

I also have a pair of rear H&R Cup Kit springs. These will lower the rear probably another 3/4" from you OEM springs. I can get the exact drop when I get home.

Yeah, my car is already running on SS springs!

H&R Cup? do you mean Cut? ahh the fronts are more important dropping! Since the front has a bigger gap then the rears

Thanks~

he means the cup kit for our cars. I just put on some tein springs on my car and the drop is ok... It dropped my car about 0.6 inches all around nothing like the H&Rs which is 1.4 front and 1.3 rear. I just put them on last week, tein says it'll sag about another 5 mm at the most. I heard that H&R start to sag quite a bit after awhile but I never had that issue with H&Rs on my other cars.

also you have to consider that once you put on different shocks and struts like from koni or bilstein its going to lower your car somemore when its paired up with the springs

I was going to order the Tein lowering springs for my c240, i dont want it too low but i want it a little lower. Also, How do you even out the difference in the gap between the wheel wells? the huge gap in the front really bothers me.
