Upgrading my 2004 C230K sedan suspension.
Hey guys,
So after having some issues with my suspension for about 2 months now, my dealer has told me that i need new shocks/struts. Now instead of just replacing them with OEMs i thought it would be better if i get after market Coilover suspension system. My question is whats good out there for my car? keeping in mind a conservative budget. i know cheaper is not always good but i am not in the position to insanely splurge on the car at the moment. also along with the coilover system do you recommend anything else??(camber kits??) sorry i do not have much knowledge about this.
Your input will be greatly appreciated

I have the same car and the same idea. With 92,000 miles on the clock, it is time to step up. There is a guy named Tommy who has posted a lot of responses to MB World. He has a 2002. I asked about the Koni FSD with Eibach springs versus the Koni Sport Shocks with Eibach springs. Now, I am going to go with the Koni Sport Shocks and Eibach springs as the Sport Shocks are adjustable and at full soft ride like stock.
If you want to do coilovers, KW has a Comfort set that is supposed to give great handling with premium ride quality. Expect to pay about $2100 for them. Koni, H&R, Bilstein, and Eibach all have coilovers to fit our car. Expect to pay $1500 to $2500.
The guys at Tire Rack can hook you up.
