Default coilovers

i brought scunk 2 coilovers for a is300 but i put them on my sc300 today ( just spring and sleeve) and i installed them to my oem shocks and they ride way smoother than my tien basics, it feels like the ultimate benz suspension just smooth as hell, i will post pics as soon as my bro gets them done on the computer

How did you get IS coilovers to mount on an SC? They don't share suspension components.

Oh, this should also go in the suspension forum.

just because they dont share components doesnt mean they can share a sleeve coilover set up. Most shocks are the same diameter.
