What Springs to use? Help PLEASE!

I want to lower my 2000 c230. Im debating between H&R springs or Eibach Sport Kit? and using the Bilstein Sports. Also what rim size? I'm thinking about 18"s staggered but maybe just 17? Please help and let me know what setup you have on your car! Also leave some pics so I can get an idea of what it looks like! Thank you so much!

dude,

when choosing springs to use first you need to decide first which wheel size would you use. say for example you've already settled in using a 17" wheel size then you can decide on the spring size for which wheel size. in my car i settled for an H&R coil springs and also you will need to replace your spacers. refer to my post:

this is somehow what will your ride will look like after you're done with your mods.

happy shopping!

Good write up... Had a question for you guys... How about 19" Mono Blocks staggered. Would it would fit on a C220 dropped on H&R Sport Kit - 2.0" front 1.7" rear.

I just got the rims in yesterday and they look HUGE...

Check this thread and they discuss all about 19" wheels with Monoblocks. https://mbworld.org/forums/c36-amg-c...s-lowered.html
