Clk55 Lowering Help!?!??! W208

dimit · 09-18-2006, 03:44 PM

I want to Lower my W208 Clk55. I've read alot of posts but I haven't gotten a clear answer. If I buy Bilstein Sport Shocks aren't they just the same shocks that are on the car now??? If I buy H&R Springs do I need to buy different shocks or can I just use the ones that I have with different pads??? What seems to be the best combination??? Can you use the same items that go on a CLK430 or is it totally different?? THANKS!!!

Do you want to change the handling characteristics of your car?

If not, and you simply seek a 1.25-1.5 inch drop, why not consider installing euro-spec springs? You won't have to change the dampers as this setup is the factory-spec engineered for Europe.
