Hi all,
I'm wondering what the effective lifespan is of factory fitted struts and springs? My R129 is really starting to rattle and bounce alarmingly when driving over rougher country roads.
I know that the staggered 18 inch wheels don't help and I'm having some suspension components checked...
OK , so I have a broken front suspension spring on my (51) w210 e240, I have sourced a new pair of standard springs (as I think they're best replaced in pairs) ready to get fitted, however ... am I right in thinking that the Avanteguard has slightly lower springs than the Elegance? if so I have...
Just had my C63 lowered on H&R springs.
Instant difference in handling even in an AMG.
All mercs should come with H&R springs!
Thanks to Prestige Car Service at Horndean for excellent service as usual!
Manage to grab a good deal on the springs on Amazon.co.uk too!
Happy days!

As above,
want to lower the CLS but I am not a fan of just putting springs on
always run silly low cars and coilovers, and prefer having the ability to tweak the height
and cant afford AIR :)

Hi MB friends!
My rear springs have bought it after the princely record of 160,000 miles of UK speed bumps :bannana:
The VIN decodes as having the u49 sport pack, which has the bits and bobs I can see (bumper, wheels, exhaust tip etc). My mechanic reckons we need to order in the ML55 AMG rear...
A pair of nearly new pattern ( less than 200 miles) standard size front springs for a W124 E320 Coupe. They are marked 72907 T426924 , however a Google search is not providing any clues as to a manufacturer. They were fitted as a panic measure to get the car through its MOT but I was never...
A front spring on my 2008 C220 W204 estate snapped whilst going over a speed bump (slowly!) yesterday.
The car's a 2008 and just clocked 143,000 miles.
Last week I replaced 2 rear shock absorbers after one of them developed a leak.
It's booked in for 2 new front springs next week.
My...
Hi, my first proper post but been around a while.
I have a Clk 240 convertible (04 plate) advantage W209. I fitted 18" after market alloys last week and as I suspected the car now needs lowering.
I have 50mm clearance front and 70mm clearance rear at the moment, that's top of tyre to wheel...
Thought it was a about time I got some extra sound from the car. I'd had a secondary cat delete straight pipe previously on the car but sold this to raise some funds to purchase a diff as was struggling to get grip after I'd had a euro charged remap.
So thought I would do a little thread on...
My 05 plate C180 needs both front springs replaced , local tyre & exhaust centre say they cant do the job as it requires specialist tool only Merc have, anyone else had this problem ?
Hi all,
Anyone know the difference between a set of Brabus Sport springs and those of a standard C220 cdi amg sport?
I read that Eibach make the Brabus springs so am I looking at a drop of about 30mm all round?
Thanks
HI all
I have a 2010 W204 C220 estate, elegance model.
I have fitted 18" AMG wheels but the ride height is looking a little 4x4 at the minute, I have been looking at the H&R springs to lower things but I don't want to compromise ground clearance too much.
The H&R springs come in 2...
Hi All,
Anyone got any experience of these and what they would lower the car by compared with standard a standard W204 C220 CDi sport?
Also, rough cost to have a set fitted (excluding actual springs).
Cheers
