What is the benefit of a progressive spring rate?

A progressive spring rate means the springs are softer during normal driving, offering a comfortable ride. They become stiffer as they compress further, which helps reduce body roll and improve handling during cornering or more aggressive driving.

What does 'shot peened' mean for these springs?

Shot peening is a process where small metal beads are blasted onto the spring's surface. This creates a stronger, more resilient spring that is better able to withstand stress and resist fatigue over time.

Do these springs come with new bump stops or hardware?

This kit includes the four sport springs. It is recommended to inspect your vehicle's existing bump stops and other suspension hardware during installation and replace any worn components as needed.

Product Details

When you're looking to give your 1996-2000 Mercedes-Benz C280 or C43 AMG a more aggressive stance and better road manners, H&R Sport Springs are a popular choice. This kit includes a set of four springs designed to lower the vehicle's center of gravity, which helps reduce body roll when you're cornering. The result is a more connected feel to the road and improved handling characteristics.

These springs are made from 54SiCr6 spring steel, a strong and resilient material that's shot peened for added durability. H&R uses a progressive spring rate design, meaning they offer a comfortable ride during normal driving but stiffen up when you need them to during spirited driving or hard cornering. This design helps maintain a superb ride quality while still achieving a lower ride height, reducing the gap between the fender and the tire. A lower vehicle profile can also lead to slightly reduced wind resistance.

This kit is H&R's top-selling product and is made entirely in Germany. If you're looking to improve your vehicle's suspension and appearance with a single upgrade, these sport springs are a solid option.
