HEY FORUM MEMBERS,

I NEED INFO ON LOWERING MY C230 KOPRESSOR. IM WONDERING IF ANYONE OUT THERE HAS LOWERED THERE'S AND NEED TO KNOW BASICLLY WHAT TO GET AND IF THERES A ECONOMICAL WAY OF DROPPING MY CAR WITHOUT DESTROYING IT. I ACTUALLY NEED TO DROP IT ABOUT 2 AND A HALF INCHES....YOUR IDEAS WILL HELP ME ALOT AND OTHERS OUT THERE DOING THE SAME THING I AM............THANKS ALOT...

 

What year is your C230?
H&R and Bilstein are most popular combination.
If you want to drop 2.5", you will have to go with coilovers.

 

I'm not an expert in this subject, but to get that amount of drop you will need coil overs. I've heard good things about H&R.

 

They dont make coil overs for the c230 w202 c-class, its impossible, its not mchpherson strut setup it is simply contol arm with spring and shock not combined.

FOR a 2 inch drop your going to want to go with either H&R CUP KIT with number 1 spring pads or H&R springs cut with number 1 pads.

with the later option, your going to want to upgrade your shocks to some better ones. Bilstien sports or Koni Adjustables will do fine!

good luck!

 

Most known brands don't have coilovers for W202, but it's not impossible.
Here's D2 Adjustable Coilover System for W202.

Sachs Sporting Set. Sachs is a major supplier of shocks world wide. They are located in Germany and provide a very nice matched spring and shock set. Eibach makes the springs for the set ( Sachs make the shocks for Eibachs Pro Kit) You'll be down about 1.5 inches and have one of the smoothest rides a lowered car can provide. BMA Importers & Distributors have great prices on Sachs (which can be hard to find in the US) Ph# 818-240-1223
And no, I don't work for them.
