Product Description

H&R part #29749-2 Sport Lowering Springs are engineered specifically for Mercedes-Benz W202-chassis C-Class vehicles - including C280 and C43 AMG models - produced between 1996 and 2000. These sport springs lower the vehicle's ride height approximately 1.4 inches at the front and 1.3 inches at the rear, effectively reducing the center of gravity for improved handling precision, reduced body roll, and a more dynamic driving feel while maintaining everyday comfort.

Constructed from high-strength 54SiCr6 spring steel with a progressive rate design, this kit offers a balanced blend of comfort and performance. The precision-wound springs are a direct replacement for the original units on the specified Mercedes-Benz C280 and C43 AMG models built after mid-1996 production dates. These springs work seamlessly with the vehicle's existing damping system or compatible performance dampers, making them a popular upgrade for enthusiasts seeking sharper cornering response, enhanced visual appeal with reduced fender gap, and a sportier stance without sacrificing ride quality.
