Opinions on Lowering?
Hello all, I just put on some new wheels for my coupe. They are 19 inch wheels and was contemplating dropping them with either Eibach or H&R. What are your opinion with lowering, do you advise it or don't. I have heard mixed reviews. Is the "quality" of the ride completely gone? Also will I be experiencing any problems in the future? Any comments are welcome. Thanks!
Sorry if the photos are huge, idk how to make them smaller.

Agreed. Since you are considering it, do it. The ride is still great, and the look is awesome too. The only thing you'll notice, as you have already probably read, is that the car's front already sits higher as it is, and when you drop it, you'll notice it more. Mine settled a good amount though.

Thanks for the insight SnakeDoctor.
Does lowering the car trigger the sport mode to revert on "on" all the time? I've seen that mentioned a lot on the W212 forums, but not quite understood what the settings / environment (air suspension or not, etc) trigger the 'fault'.

Does anyone recommend a good but inexpensive shop near Los Angeles or Orange County that would put on springs for me? Do i need an alignment after?
Thanks
