Does anyone know where to locate a new set of Belstein Shocks and Springs for a 1998 C43 AMG. Mercedes are very expensive :

Bilstein B12 Kit

I fitted the B12 kit (springs & dampers) to my 124 Sportline and it's great.

Others around here say likewise.

Ask Oliver at Presige cars near Portsmouth, he could doubtless advise and fit.

Hi Malcolm - have a look at my earlier thread here: http://forums.mercedesclub.org.uk/showthread.php?t=46198 - I've just had the Bilstein B8's fitted to mine by Oliver at PCS and am very happy They were also loads cheaper than the stock units from Mercedes. Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Mark

A B12 kit is,nt available for the C43 AMG. I,ve been trying to source some replacements for my C43 and have decided to go for genuine MB springs and Bilstein replacement shocks, the springs are £54 each for the front from MB(rear i believe are similar price) the shocks i believe are about £100each from Euro car-parts.
Another forum member MarkCL has just used these shocks on his 43, using his existing original springs (car just on 100,000 miles i believe) and has reported favourably on their performance.
Do not be tempted to buy after market springs for it, unless it specifically says for the 8 cylinder motor, if you can find some let me know as i may be tempted.
