US crossfire in Germany needs help by front suspension
A friendly good morning from Germany,
I am a 47 years old crossfire owner from cologne in Germany. I write here, because I have a US version of the crossfire that never was in the states.
Now I have a problem with my front springs. One spring was broken and I changed them.
As I checked the number, I read 1703210004 on the spring.
Normally the spring has the 193 321 0003 number.
The rubber in my car has 5 points and normally he must have 3 points.
The damper in front has the number V13, normally the number is V28 or V54.
The rear damper has the number H24, normally the number is H28 or H54.
So my idea is the suspension of the US version is maybe a little bit softer than the EU version.
Now my please is, have a look on your front damper. You can see a green number on down area of the damper and tell me this number.
Please excused my bad English, but I need the language not often enough.
Thank you very much for your help.

Hello,
Your English is fine!!
I've noticed that most A 170 XXX XX XX part numbers are used in both the R170 SLK and the Crossfire...
All part numbers beginning with 193 XXX XX XX are Crossfire-specific (Crossfire was actually referred to as the R193 chassis internally within Daimler)

Hello,
yes, that both cars, so SLK + Crossfire use the 170.... numbers is clear.
But for front spring is a chrysler spezific number used.
And that is my problem. In my car was mounted a DB spring.
The information with the damper of SRT is a good suggestion. Here I can ask in the german forum about the situation else.
If someone will take a look it will be fine. Itīs really not difficult and you donīt need any tools or garage to have a look. You see the number, if you look under the foglight in direction of the spring / damper.
Ok, you must fall down on knees, but I think you all are very sporty.......
Thanks

Stephan, my crossfire is a 2005 limited roadster. Here are some pics of my dampers to show you what my car came equipped with from the factory.
