H&R sport springs - how much drop on factory-lowered cars?

I read somewhere that 507 is slightly dropped (10mm?) from the factory. Is this true?

And I think H&R sport springs are said to drop a C63 around 20mm or .79 inch. (please correct if wrong)

If both are true, would installing H&R springs on a 507 result in a further 20mm beyond the 10mm already dropped at the factory? or would it just drop it another 10mm?

I believe this "factory drop" is also the case with some Canadian spec cars and maybe the performance package. Anyone running H&R springs on a factory-lowered car?

Thanks!

I have a p30 and lowered mine on H&R springs. It's definitely a noticeable drop from factory.

The drop looks real good. I'm close to a decision on H&R springs and 19" wheels... Anyone from Georgia recommend a shop to install springs? Thanks in advance.

Looks good!

Does anyone know if you get a full .75 drop even if it comes with amg performance suspension 10mm drop from the factory?

Or do you just get the difference?

Is there a 10mm drop from the factory? I have never seen a spec sheet mentioning that.

If there is a 10mm drop it is likely done by installing shorter springs at the factory and thus you will only get the difference with H&R springs or 10mm.
