H&R VTF Height Adjustable Lowering Springs

For Mercedes-AMG C43 4MATIC (W205 / S205 / A205)

Short Description

Improve the stance, handling, and overall driving dynamics of your Mercedes-AMG C43 with the H&R VTF Height Adjustable Lowering Spring Kit. Designed specifically for vehicles equipped with AMG Ride Control suspension, this system provides the flexibility of adjustable ride height while retaining the factory electronically controlled dampers.

Unlike conventional lowering springs with a fixed ride height, H&R's VTF system incorporates precision-machined threaded adjustment collars that allow owners to fine-tune the vehicle's stance. The system provides approximately 1.2–1.8 inches of lowering in the front and 1.0–1.6 inches in the rear, allowing for a more aggressive appearance and reduced wheel gap.

H&R's progressive-rate springs are engineered to lower the vehicle's center of gravity, reduce body roll, and improve cornering response while maintaining the ride quality expected from a premium performance sedan. Because the system works with the original dampers, factory AMG Ride Control electronic damping adjustments remain fully functional.

Manufactured in Germany, H&R VTF springs provide an excellent alternative to a complete coilover system for C43 owners seeking adjustable ride height, improved handling, and a more purposeful stance without sacrificing factory suspension technology.
