Hoping somebody might be able to offer some advice here...
I currently own a facelift W208 CLK 230K, which from searching this forum I'm led to believe weighs about 1345Kg.
Once Summer has come to an end and the weather starts getting cold again, I'm hoping to buy a facelift W208 CLK 320 convertible, which I'm led to believe weghs about 1655Kg.
I'm wanting to lower my current 230k, and I want to do it properly so I'm looking at the H&R Cup Kit which consists of both springs and shocks to lower ~40mm all round.
However, these are fairly expensive, so ideally I'd like to be able to swap it to the 320 convertible when the time came. My only worry is the difference in weight. H&R sell different kits for these different models, so I imagine the springs are stiffer or something.
So my question is, could I get away with using the same kit? And if not, is it likely I can keep the shocks and just replace the springs for stiffer ones?
