New Car/old car

Werd up everyone,

So I been fortunate enough to have a couple newer nicer benz's and this will be if the purchase goes thru my fave project. I had an 08 clk red sexy girl she was with beige interior and that car was just too good, but recently upgraded to a '10 cls550. Well a little deal came my way for a 1995 c280 280,000+km on the motor, body is in perfect condition, interior is amazing. one owner and has full maintence from MB dealership. I am paying $2000cdn(canadian funds maybe around 1800usd) I still had laying around my clk factory amg rims so i will be painting those flat black and lowering the car and a nice stereo my little throw back benz. Question i have is what are good lowering springs i want a kinda aggressive drop.

Thanks I will have pics as soon as the rims get painted. which i am still decideding on what colour to do them in. Vogtland springs never heard of them but will research as is my daily job anyway to research. when you say pads is that the ride height of the springs?

I'm not too happy with the red/matte black combo on my car....

They are rubber pads that go on top of the springs. They have different sizes to adjust how high/low you want your car.
