201 front coil spring
 
Where (besides MB) can I find new or used front coil springs for my '88 190E?
Seems that the cold weather we had in February, along with normal aging killed the passenger side spring...I probably want to replace both sides though, correct? Can't seem to find them anywhere.

I'm guessing you want OEM? Otherwise you can get some Votgland on ebay..
or, if you're in Canada..

I have 2 used one from 87 MB 190E 2.3L 8V. Want $40 Cdn pair + shipping. I am in Vancouver, BC. The shipping should be around $20 to $30 Cdn by Canada Post. Let me know

I just bought mine from Phil. 100$ each. Put them in last weekend. Make sure you use a Mercedes spring compressor. Not allot of room for anything else.

Yup. Many fellow Canucks have bought from that site.

Personally, I haven't tried it yet as I get most my parts here.. but I've been told by other Benz owner here that they are; they're the one who showed me the website.
Either that or shop around town.. I just found a new BEHR radiator for 300$ here, just a few kilometers away.

Good luck! :)

I visited a relative in the States and brought back a south African Behr(prearranged to be shipped to my relative in the US) for $175 US$ ,no tax.
Dealer(markham mb) wanted $350+GST+PST+not in stock.

Yeah, I'd have shopped around more as I've seen some good prices here but I was rushed by time since I need the car for school and such. But 175$ US is a pretty good price.
And the dealer was asking 350$? US or CDN?
Some shop here were asking me 430$, and that's with the 30% off when you're a mechanic! (regular price around 500$)

MB Markham quoted 350 or 360 Canadian plus taxes(14% to me),and the main thing is they are not in stock!!!!!
I dont know whether the dealer sells German or South African Behr though.
