Hello dear viewers
I've got the honor to show you my new springs and shocks for my estate C Class on a S204 chassis.
Front and rear shocks are for lowering springs being shorter in the shaft. They are made by Sachs.
Front and rear springs are lowering springs from Eibach.
This is my version of an Eibach Pro Kit. The only difference being I used Sachs short shocks instead of Bilstein B6 or B8 short shocks.

Finally a decent video! I really struggled with one set of clamps. I’ve bought the others you used and didn’t think about pre compressing the shock absorber on the inside. Thank you so much!

Just done this job and it was not easy at all. You make it look so simple 😂😂 I had to use another set of clamps as well as the outside ones you used and then I finally was able to get the top nut on a few threads. Lining it up was also tricky but I got there in the end and have saved myself some money all because of your video. Thank you!

Hi. No need for cutting. They work well with short shocks and lowering springs.

On the front it didn't lower a bit - my front shocks and springs were over worn so probably that's why it's like that.... on the rear I got around 3cm lowering stance.

@@AlexAndreiZAR no problem. I am going to do mine this weekend. Do you remember how to take out the rear trim inside the boot to access the rear shock absorber top mounts? I’m looking online for any guides but want to check before I try and figure it out myself.

@torquesteer2657 you have to start by removing the floor paneling in the boot. Start with the cromed trim at the boot entry. Continue with bottom boot liners, side pockets are easily removable. Fold the seats, remove the stop plugs to the boot lid on both sides. The stop plugs must be unscrewed. Measure their position before unscrewing them. Access to the top of the shocks is not difficult, only times consuming to get to them.

Salut ! Am vazut clipul cu ford ul de acum 7 ani cu frana de mana.. Am si eu o Intrebare.. de ce cand trag frana de mana roata din stanga se blocheaza si cea din dreapta nu.. ?

Salut. E o piulita la repartitor care egalizeaza cât de tare se trage frana de mana pe o roata sau pe alta. Mai se întâmplă ca pârghia de la etrier sau tambur sa fie blocata și atunci nu ai decât sa înlocuiești etrierul sau pârghia de la tambur... bafta

Hi Alex, how much the Eibach Pro Kit lowered your car?! I installed the kit yesterday on my Mercedes C220cdi Avantagard with Bilstein B4 (Sport Chassis) and it only lower my car aprox 0.6 inches (15 mm) on the front... The brand says 1.2 inches (30 mm)!! Thanks Best regards

Hi. It got lowered about 1.5-2cm at first for the front. My spring and shocks on front were shot really bad. At the back it lowered the car somewhere between 3cm to 4cm. Rear shocks and springs were in a better state. I raised the back a bit by chaning the top hat rings for the springs. I did this because it scraped the inside arches when car was hitting potholes or hitting speed bumps or taking some corners.

My car lowered the same at front and rear... Like less a finger in the gap, but not the 3cm that is announced by Eibach, which is what i was waiting for! Some people say that it setles more after a week or two! Thanks friend

@@danielmacedo7068 I didn't measure. Car sits right in my opinion. Good stability when driving on twisty roads. Awesome stability at very high speeds. Comfort has dropped a bit but not by much. If before installation I had 8 out of 10 for stability and 9 out of 10 for comfort I can say that after installation I have 9,5 out of 10 for stability and 7,5 out of 10 for comfort. That is my personal feeling.
