wouuuuuuuw, rear does sit high!
i used springpads #1 in front and #4 rear, car sits pefect with a gap fitting my pinky finger

what are you using on your car?
you might try with #1 or # 2 or #3 pad rear to get dat pefect stance?

Somalia757

I'm using 1 in the front and 3 in back.
I'm about to get a full tank almost on e and maybe the weight will settle it down some lol yea right

KJI3jflarryfe93

find 2 sumo wrestlers from japan, place one of them in the trunk and the other one in the backseat, they will drop your car to the ground

swap your rear pads to #1, should do miracles i think?

Super B

You for sure got the spring into the pad right? Is it high on both sides?

Somalia757

Yea well the new pad seems thicker than the old one... I'm going to swap the old pad in probably next weekend. Settled some but not much looks weird like a wannabe muscle car

Somalia757

For now...

Somalia757

Anyone know what this is?

Super B

that is the manual fuel door release . Page 125 of the owners manual.

Somalia757

lol... I guess I need to buy a manual.

Super B

Yeah it can be pretty handy.. Only reason I knew that was in there at all was because I've been having a hard time programming the craftsman garage door opener. I was looking through the book and just happened to remember seeing that picture.. It was strange that you posted up the question the same day.

Your cars looking sweet. What where you doing with your trunk all tore apart?

Somalia757

Lowered the rear down some about an inch maybe.





Changed the rear spring pads to lower the rear more.

KJI3jflarryfe93

car still way to high on rear.

what are these white stains on your car?
did Clinton stain your car all around or did he only leave his DNA on lewinsky's dress?

DRBC43AMG

Stains are reflections on the photos....

Somalia757

Yea the back is still a bit high, thinking some 18s will fix the wheel gap though

KJI3jflarryfe93

you need thinner/thinnest springpads for rear, 18" rims won't fix your wheelgap
your are a mechanic at work you have a hoist for free, try with different pads if you have them available?

i got the right stance the 1st time with #F1/#R4 on my ride

Somalia757

<br />
<br />
I have #1 in front and went from #4 to #3 on rear. Ugh ...there meant for the C43 but call for a 1.5 inch drop in rear so idk wth is up guess ill order #2 now but I can't sent these back and I have the front and backs new in box #1 and #3.

KJI3jflarryfe93

seems like springpads for prefacelift cars are thicker than facelift pads?
try with #1
if you work at the MB dealer then you get huge discount for parts, right?
pads are cheap to buy

Somalia757

Actually I used the c43 pads and switched back to c36 pads

@ Ocampos Customs get paint and body work.

KJI3jflarryfe93

why didn't bodyshop remove trims on bottom part window and door handles and possibly other stuff?
is this a serious bodyshop?

doesn't look good for you bro!!

Somalia757

Not sure, it's legit place though.
A couple cars the CLK is the owners show car

KJI3jflarryfe93

go back and complaint.
they should remove all trims from the body if this is a good shop, looks like they are amateurs!?

DRBC43AMG

I agree with what Kowalski says, trim should be removed. In a total paint job the front and rear screens too, but guess that would be extra $$$

KJI3jflarryfe93

of course front/rear lights has to come off, if shop has a good reputation being serious they will remove all trims by them self customer doesn't have to tell them what to do!
if customer is picky he or she will remove some easy stuff at home and letting shop do the rest.

go back and complaint Somalia!
you don't want excessive paint dripping on trims and door handles

Somalia757

I asked them and they said that is only for the body work prep in the pic that for paint the will take the trims off ect.
