The Esprit is lowered so I assume I need different springs to standard but on a quick search I can't find any Esprit-specific springs so maybe they are standard? Can anyone confirm please?
Are W202 Esprit front springs common with other W202 models or shorter?

You'd need to look it up on EPC. MB have a fairly complex method of determining spring/pad combination based on vehicle spec and model.
Post up the first six characters of the VIN (after the letters) and I'll take a look later if I get a chance.

Yes as said, get the correct ones from your VIN, then all fits correct.

Do take the correct version that suites the correct number.

It goes on coloured spring dot markings, they are vehicle specific.

The Esprit model I believe had the same suspension as the Sport, so Sport springs could possibly be the same.
But if it was me, like others in this thread would be to replace the correct MB items.
