As these guys have previously described, the ride quality is essentially unchanged from the stock, US-spec, springs. The drop measures 1 3/8" front and 3/4" rear, measured at the center of the wheel lip. I used # 1 spring pads on the front - which are 4mm thinner than the stock #2 pads. The change in appearance is dramatic - it looks like a 3" drop - and it's stance is like the current Sport Package and AMG cars.

Here's the MB part numbers on springs and pads. You can get them at your local dealer, but I bought the springs from Carnewal in Belgium because I wanted to be absolutely sure I got the right parts. Others on the forum reported good service from him, and I also got great service. I can confirm that these are the right part numbers for the Euro-spec C43.

Front Springs: 210.321.22.04
Rear Springs: 210.324.34.04
Front #1 Pads 210.321.01.84
