HI, list members.
I got the question of what spring rate does the factory sport version comes also did anyone know the spring rate between the regular C230 1999 and C230 Sort? Also, did both come with the same shock or different in damping. Was think to upgrade to sport version.

I would think you could upgrade to set of Eibach or H&R springs and some used AMG shocks for about the same price as using the sport springs and shocks and end up with a better package.

I think the sport springs are around 10 percent stiffer, but the shocks are valved much different to firm up the ride and handling.

from what I heard...the sport edition of the 99c230K has the same springs as the regular, but it has different shocks and a bigger stabilizer bar.
