So getting the w202 B6's from Europe is too cost prohibitive.
Putting w208 B6's in my c230k is risky because I looked under my father's w208 and it looks really complicated down there, alot more bushings etc and seems like there is alot more going on in the front suspension of the w208.

Is there a way of testing if the shocks are worn?
What kind of life expectency should one expect?
Also should the springs be changed at the same time as the shocks?
Thanks in advance!

Can I swap used C36 shocks (bilstein) into my 1999 C230K?
I think that it should fit, but how would that affect the driving comfort? Id obviously think it would affect the handling in a very positive way, with less roll while cornering.
I'm concerned that the shocks were designed for the...

Hi Guys
As part of our Warehouse Spring Clean we have found 150 Shock Absorbers for the W220 :thumb:
Bilstein made the original shocks for Mercedes and have pattented the design, meaning there are no other brands with these.
These will be heavily discounted to clear:

Hi there,
I'm going to solve this problem with my Floaty riding W202 once and for all I think.
I'm going to put Genuine Mercedes Springs up front in pairs... the Back are definately genuine Mercedes as I've got the invoice from Mercedes-Benz to prove they were done in 2009!
So I was wondering...

Just bought a C240 Sport S Reg, no noise going over speed bumps however over uneven roads I can hear a clicking noise? is this normal or is there something I need to get investigated. The car drives straight, no pulling on either side and handles bends ok.
