Lowering. Front only
I have a 2010 C63 Estate, and just want to lower the front a little.
The front is definitely higher than the rear, and it looks a little weird the fender gap difference.
Is there spring pads on the front that I can get smaller ones? I haven't been able to get a definitive answer on front spring pads.
Failing that, could one just buy lowering springs for the front? I only want to lower about 10mm (.40") would be sufficient.
Thoughts people?

No spring pads for the front, and I don't recommend u lowering the front only.. It will be ok for looks but ur handling might suffer as H&R springs might have a different spring rate than oem.
But I'm with u on the front being higher than the rear, so I lowered all corners & added 17mm thicker spring pads in the rear to even out the drop.

OKay, at least i have my answer on the front spring pads.
I see your point with different spring rates.
I might have to do as you suggested, lowing all, and larger pads on rear.
I will post some pics of stock now

Ppl actually say that our cars sit at the same height in all corners, but the rear fenders makes it look lower in the rear. Regardless, I still like the look of my drop with the thicker rear pads.

Though, i will say, at speed, the car could definitely benefit from lowering.
Under WOT the front feels very light.
