190E sports suspension Kit

[mercmonkey]

While browsing my local halfrauds this afternoon I came across a Cobra sports suspension Kit for the 190E

Has anyone fitted one of these yet? would like a bit of feedback before I shell out the cash

was about 280quid i think

Save your money and get a decent brand, like Koni, Bilstein, Spax or Eibach.

Can't really argue with that...

Why do you want a suspension kit? It's not a trick question - if you think the suspension's not right it's unlikely to be a problem solvable by replacing springs & dampers. It'll be bushes & balljoints first then springs & dampers dead last, when all other problems have been solved

If you want to lower the car then do a search on the forums and see what other people have come up with

good point ..the factory ride is probably the best if kept up to .... I will never lower a car again!!! they look great but really spoil the ride

well the shocks are tired as are the springs, also i prefer the slightly lower stance. when i replace them ill be replacing the bushes as well

at the moment the car feels a little "boaty" driving round the twisty bits on the run home (living in the sticks as i do lol)

monkey,

The Americans are forever fiddling with their cars & there's a whole industry supplying after market mods. Have a look at these sites. I recall seeing somrthing about a co. which supplies all the stuff to turn your car into a Sportline version, which handles well & still has a decent (though firmer) ride.
