Hi everyone, i'm new on this forum...
I searched and i cant find the right answers, so i really hope you can help me.

My car is MB c180 w203 coupe year model 2001 and i'm looking for a new coilover kit, a budget coilover kit like fk or something similar.
I was looking at these:FK Automotive Tuning Shop | Coilover AK Street Mercedes Benz C-Class W203 Yr. 2000-2007 | purchase online

Will they fit to my car?
What else do you recommend, where to look and what to look...
The weight ratio doesnt matter as long as coilovers fit perfecrly.

The other thing is to buy new set of fixed damper and sport springs to bring it a little lower, yes i know these are completely two different worlds but its better than nothing.
As above, they need to be a budget ones.

Appreciate it guys.


TNX.

Don't do it. Lowering on a budget will cost you. A set of eibach or H and R springs will do the same job at a similar price (less than £200) with known reliablity (presuming your shocks are ok). Cheap coilovers at less than £40 a corner seems on the wrong side of lethal imo.
 
Cheap coilovers are nasty, I learnt the hard way. Not only did they ruin the handling of the car and make it super uncomfortable, they destroyed other suspension components in the process, in a very short amount of time, costing me a lot of money in the long run.

I'm a big fan of improving suspension on my cars, for looks as well as handling etc, but would never do it 'on the cheap' again.
 
Tnx for replies and the link guys...
Budget? Something like 200-300€ max.!
I drived fk before and now and for that money they are superb, no need to spend a fortune really.
I just want to know if the w203 c180 coupe have the same suspension with other cars like sedan or something else!? The weight ratio is not important, its all for looks in this case guys and easy driving.

Well if that's so,then just get a set of eibach pro springs and you're done. When the time comes to change your shocks,replace them with OEM sport shocks and thats it.
