For my 95 C280

Does anyone have them? I can get them about $50 cheaper new then a set of H&R's, I've decided the Eibachs are out as everybody seems to think they have too much travel.

Also thoughts on the Koni vs. Bilstein Sport shocks?

Hello
I had the Yellow Koni shocks before,
now i have the Bilstein B8, and they are much better!
In futer i just will take the B8 kit.

And sorry but Koni don t bulid Springs neither Bilstein.

Do you have ever heard of the H&R Cupkit ?
It is in germany the best you can buy for your W202 ;)
All people have it in, are happy about it.
The H&R Cupkit inclueds Bilstein B5 shocks.

I have the H & R sports springs with Bilstein sports shocks. The ride is firm, and I like it!

Ok i cancelled my other order for springs because of the wait time, then i went to www.koni-na.com and ordered a set of 202 springs only, and they are being shipped from ky tomorrow! Price wise, I payed $175 SHIPPED.:cool:

EDIT: Tirerack has the koni springs only on their website, however they are special order and wont be availible to next month. ORDER THROUGH KONI SITE!

How are those Koni springs working for you? I'm trying to decide between Koni or H&R sport springs.
