Where to purchase bilstien sports for c43

[moedigga]

Performance products said they dont have them for c43, so where else can I aquire these. Stock bilstiens are really tired especially since I put Brabus springs on like 15000 miles ago.

Try this: http://www.allshocks.com/bilstein/html/show_shocks.asp?make='MERCEDES%20BENZ'&model='180,%20200,%20220,%20250,%20280'&year='2000'
That's where I got mine.
Best service I've ever had. ;)

Get the Koni Externally adjustables, they are sooooo much better than the Bilstiens.

I could care less about trackside handling but I dont want to set it up short of what i really want just because I dont know what I'm doing Plus the konis are more $ right?

Plus I'm sure the NYC streets are a whole lot rougher than the well maintained streets in Cali.

Yes. With the bilstiens you get the settings they choose, if it's too soft/firm your stuck with it. With the Koni, you can tweek the ride to get what you like best. All it takes is the turn of a knob.

Yes, because they are adjustable. The compression is much too harsh on the bilstiens. with the Koni you can have a firm sporty ride without the harshness of the bilstiens. Just what you need for those NYC streets ;)

Bought the Konis from Puresport, we shall see what the adjustable has to offer.:D Also only 70 bucks more than Bilstien which I could not find. Everyone was telling me they were not available for c43 Thanks Kwik!

Which Koni did you order? My externally adjustable were more than $70 above the Bilstien. If you ordered online, you might want to call them since the only one listed on the site are the internally adjustable.

Both have the same range of adjustment, but the externally adjustable ones don't need to be removed to be adjusted.

Either way you will like them much better than the Bilstien...

If you bought online, then they are not the Externally adjustable ones. I had to call to get those...and they were more than what you paid...
