Which Spring Rate To Use?
Hey everybody, new to the world of Mercedes as I've just made the switch from BMW. Anyway, I'm looking for some opinions on which spring/spring rate to use on my C32. I like the height of the rear on the car but the front is a little high for my taste. The springs seem a little worn now as they wobble all over the place. I'm not opposed to buying a "stock" height spring with a firmer spring rate and cutting the front to suit but if I could find something like that out of the box, it would be the more preferred route. If there's any spring that you know of or have experience with please let me know, it would be much appreciated. I know coils are the way to go, but just springs will suffice for now...

My first word of advice would be, don't cut springs.
I have not used them before, but Eibach makes a set of springs for our cars. Check Tire Rack suspension products.

That being said there are a lot of options out there. H&R, Eibach(as previously mentioned) Springs from other models or, coil overs from a few different companies.
