2001 E55 AMG
Spring interchange

Sorry if this has been asked before I did a search on google but did not come up with anything.

My question is....

Would H&R Springs and shocks from a 1999 CLK 430 fit the 2001 E55 AMG? My buddy has a set that he would sale to me for dirt. Just trying to figure it out before I try & install them and find out the hard way!

Thank you...

I personally think that it might fit but those springs and shocks are specifically designed for that 430 so the spring rate and rebound may not work properly.

If you read my thread below,I'm running Eibach springs on mine. If you do a research you'll find Eibach does not make springs for the E55. The closest application they have is an E430. Now if I remember correctly the difference between E430 and E55 is about 100 lbs. The E55 is 100 lbs heavier. The springs work great in my case but a coupe to a sedan might be too much of a difference so I wouldn't do it. Or,if you DIY so you don't have to pay for the swap you might want to try,see what happens...
