hmm, seems still alittle high than the usual height that H&R gives out. But looking at your stock height, it is pretty high for a stock spring.

rofoo,

ill try to somr more pic s. . but i would like to drop it just 1 pad more.In the front but I have a long gravel driveway that builds up in the middle......didnt want to go bulldozing with the benz.......but the camber kit was a must on the rear and the drop is just right i think it would rub any lower .......the car handles great...no twichicy,etc I am sure the poly bushings really helped ....just nice and smooth and tight......I have heard alot of the c43 guys dont get good results after they lower..........see ya and ill get some better pics.
