springs

Hi, I've just replaced shocks x 4 and springs x4 on my w211 03' avant saloon (sachs), but ride is still incredibly bumpy. Do the shocks bed in after a while? I did adjust the height on the front shocks with the circular clip to match the height on the original shocks. This distance being...

Hi guys Was planing to change the shock absorbers and thinking to go for koni with a standard springs on my clk55 Has anyone ever had koni dampers and are they any good? Or what other options would you suggest? Any tips advises will be very much appreciated Thanks

like it says, front and rear, for a 4 cylinder regards Brett

Hi Guys, I have a march 2004 c220 CDI with the AMG sports package i.e 330mm front disk, 17" wheels and the lower stiffer suspension, car looks great but I would like to do a mild drop on the standard dampers, when I say mild I'm talking 20 or 30mm really. Are there any spring kits that will...

As above guys, Brand new in box Eibach Sportline springs which give a 45mm drop up front and 35mm rear if I recall correctly and fit both W202's and W208's. Bought for around £165 recently. Will take £130 collected or you arrange your own courier. As I say the box hasn't even been...

My beloved W124 260e finaly needs all new shocks and springs. MBZ dealer price for the parts was astronomical (rear shocks over £400 - EACH). I have been looking at Euro and GSF websites, and even callled them but they don't have anything. Am i missing something here? Who should i call to get a...

Hi. My 2001 W210 saloon has failed an MOT because of broken rear spings. Try as I can: I cannot find a suitable spring compressor which will remove the rears. All compressors appear to do the front only. Can anyone advise on which tool would fit? Many thanks. Regards. solarmer1

evening all, The driver's side front spring has snapped on my c32 and I need to source a replacement. Looking on-line all I can find is lowering kits but I am not keen on lowering the old girl or changing all the springs front and back if I can avoid it. Any idea where I can source the springs...

Hi Does anyone know of anywhere I might get hold of front springs for my 1990 300TE 4matic? The driver's side one broke last weekend and the garage I use swear they have drawn a blank "worldwide". I have had a good trawl of the net to no avail. I am gutted at the thought of having to scrap this...

I need to replace rear springs as my 1986 ones have sagged. Anyone increased spring rate and damper ratings? I was thinking of taking the opportunity to increase rear stiffness whilst maintaining factory ride height?

I'm currently using a Eibach Pro kit on my CLK55 W208 and I'm happy with the ride height but feel the ride could be firmer. I was thinking if there would be any advantage to changing to H&R lowering springs? Does anyone have experience of both?

Hi guys I'm looking to drop the ride height of my car. Can you recommend the best lowering springs to go for, I don't want the ride to be much firmer then it already is so what springs will give the oem ride? Also is it ok to just replace springs and keep the oem shocks ? Tnx

alright good people, On a C230K Sport prefacelift 1997 my daily commute has over 100 speed humps and I have to drive dead slow into my driveway otherwise I scrape my front bumper so I was thinking about jacking the ride height up a bit as it seems to sit dead low. Was just thinking about...

Hi This is my first post, I've had a look through the search facility but can't seem t find the answer so thought I'd post this Would anyone happen to know the part number for the boot springs on a W203? Mine unlatches but doesn't open fully. I don't have a boot spoiler and if I take the...

Want to lower the old girl whilst she's in storage over winter. Anyone got any springs kicking around that they want to sell? Or any recommendations on what kind of drop is sensible? Want it still usable, no scrubbing or moaning when used with standard monoblocks

My car as a broken O/S front and N/S rear springs, my Independent quoted £550 to replace all 4. They found that the springs are 2X yellow front and rear. Phoned MB gave them the Vin of the car and they tell me the springs are: Front 3x Blue and Rear 3x Red They gave me part numbers and a price...

Hi folks Looking for some help? My springs have broken on my e280 cdi and I am looking mat buying spring compressors. Would compressors with a pressure of 1500kg be enough and safe? I can't find info about the strength of them if they are suitable. Cheers Barry

Just Been told i need 1 Front and 1 Rear Spring replacing. the shop will replace them in pairs with gen parts Rear Spring including VAT £307, and front £252 or the other way round. Is this a good price

Hi All, Just a quick question on what most on here who have changed or uprated their suspension on the C32 tend to go for. I have been searching online and so far have only seen lowering springs such as H&R and Eibach which are amongst the best and Bilstein B6 & B8 shocks as well as Koni. I...

I have a set of H&R C32 lowering springs up for grabs. -40mm drop. They are brand new and have never been fitted. I ordered them in for a customer but they decided that they didn't want them and I can't send them back as they were special order.:( The retail price for them is £193.80 I...
