Lowering on a 220CE - again....

[mrgeoff]

I have found 2 different spring kits. An Eibach one, and a bilstern? one.
So the standard shocks are Bilstern, how different will the short shocks in the kit be?
But also, I have been told, that AMG use the Eibach kit, so which is going to be better?
Note, I dont want the ride to get too hard, I just want the drop.

Thanks.

Lowering on a 220CE

I fitted an Eibach kit on my last car, 190e, I was really pleased with the result.  I suspect that the eibach system will give you what you want.

The suspension was a bit more firm, but it was better with it.  No dive on the brakes and the roadhandling was improved.  Also the ride height looked a million bucks better (not 4x4!)

I had mine fitted by Elite and was very happy with their work.  I didn't shop around too hard though.

I would have Eibach fitted on a car once again and I would to back to Elite to have it fitted.  I live a good 150 miles away from Elite, so that has to say something!  I don't need a set now as I have a c36.  (I saw my first c36 when I had the eibach springs fitted at Elite and can remember that day vividly!)

I hope this is some help.
