C280
Exclamation lowering

i just bought an eibach pro-kit that lowers the car 1.3 in front and 1.0 in the rear, will there still be wheel gap? if so, how much? does anyone have pictures of a c280 lowered this much, its a 95 c280, if so post a pic, or go to my website and leave a message in the message forum and u can post pics there. Also where can i get pads, or dampers for the car when i go to lower it, will that make it lower?
Thanks, rbus

Mines lowered about an inch an a half all the way around. About one finger will fit in the wheel gap. Gives it an aggressive look. I will post a picture of it tomorrow.

I'm sorry I asked the wrong person. You already have springs. Meant to ask C280 Jr.
