C 350 Coupe H&R sport and spring pads?
Will install H&R sport springs (not super sport) on my C 350 Coupé.
Do i need other spring pads in the rear for an even drop? Have read about persons who has mounted Eibach Pro kit and change the spring pads from 17 mm to 9 mm (to get an even drop) but cant find any info if its the same on H&R?
Best regards

i haven't heard of that for the coupe, if the H&R Sport is the same drop as the Eibach, then sure maybe the pads will give it a difference. I have H&R SS and did not install different pads, it looks fine.

Yes it is my experience also that H&R Super Sport has a very even drop. I have heard rumors that the Sport version lowers slightly less in the rear comparing to the front which is a bit awkward. But it is just rumors so I would love to have feedback from someone who mounted Sports on the Coupe.
It will be mounted tomorrow so time is soon running out :-(.

I mounted the springs yesterday and decided to change the rear pads from original 13 mm (i had 13 mm pads rear and not 17 mm as posted earlier) to 9 mm. This will lower the rear an extra 4 mm. I must say i am very satisfied with the result. The car has now a very even drop. I will soon post some pictures.
