Mercedes Sprinter Rear Coilover Kit

Description

The Dark Star Offroad Rear Coilover Kit is a premium suspension upgrade engineered specifically for the Mercedes Sprinter van. By combining a high-performance shock absorber with a durable coil spring into a single cohesive unit, this kit delivers a comprehensive solution for ride quality, stability, and adjustability. It is purpose-built for the demands of converted, built-out, and heavily accessorized Sprinters - vans that carry extra weight, altered centers of gravity, and real-world abuse on and off the road.

Whether you need to compensate for a heavy rear build-out, correct side-to-side lean, or lift the rear of your van by up to 2 inches, this kit handles it all. It also addresses a known weak point on the Sprinter platform with upgraded upper and lower mounting brackets, giving you confidence that your suspension will hold up for the long haul - from daily driving to backcountry adventures.

Key Features

• Shock and Spring Combo: Integrates a high-performance shock absorber with a durable coil spring into one unit for improved comfort and handling.
• Up to 2" Rear Lift: Independent ride height adjustments allow you to level or lift the rear of your Sprinter by up to 2 inches.
• Side-to-Side Lean Correction: Compensates for uneven weight distribution, keeping your van riding level even with asymmetric loads.
• Preset by Rear Axle Weight: Kit comes preset for your specific van's rear axle weight range, with further tuning available via ride height adjustments.
• Upgraded Upper and Lower Mounting Brackets: Anti-shear upper shock mounts and reinforced lower mounts fix a known weak point on the Sprinter platform.
• Optimized for Built-Out Vans: Engineered specifically for converted or heavily accessorized Sprinters that carry added weight and altered center of gravity.
• Reduced Body Roll: Superior design delivers a smoother ride and reduced body roll for both on-road and off-road driving.
• AWD and 4x4 Compatible: Compatible with 2015+ Mercedes Sprinter 2500 AWD and 4x4 models in 144 and 170 wheelbases.
• High-Quality Construction: Built with premium materials and advanced engineering for long-term durability across years of demanding use.
• Rear-Only Installation: Focuses all upgrades where built-out vans need it most - the rear axle - without altering the factory front suspension.

Weight Options & Which to Choose
