They include your car.Try also performance parts 4 benz.If your springs are sagging,you could try thicker shims.

Frankly, I have never seen a good reason to get springs from anywhere but the main dealers. They know exactly the loading on YOUR car and can get EXACTLY the right spring rate.

The only alternative might be specialists like H&R or Eibach who will ask the exact spec of your car (VIN number) before totting up the 'points' and recommending the correct spring.

It's well worth getting the right ones.

Bonne chance.

I also would like the springs adjusted as if I had an extra 250 pounds permanently in the trunk. The local dealer wouldn't do that...
Also, the dealer springs tend to break the ends off.... I want something that won't break every 3 years...
