W202 lowering help!
Has anyone lowered their w202 with springs on stock shocks and no camber kit? If so how did it ride? Id love to hear feedback I'm looking to drop my w202 on vogtland springs

dude,
you will definitely need camber kits to correct the toe ins and outs once you've installed the lowering springs.
the costs of labor for that around here is a bit over $80 but definitely lower than a $100 including wheel alignment.
as for the ride, it's a bit stiff but the handling greatly improved and lessened sway, pitch and roll.
happy lowering.

I lowered my w202 with H&R spring but still using OEM shocks. Ride is perfect and not bumpy, feels like nothing happened. I do plan on changing bilstein sports shocks soon, just saving up money for it.
The only problem with the stock shocks is that when you hit a sudden unpaved road my tires will rub on the fender, but besides that, no other issue.

no issues on camber or whatsoever, how can you can adjust it when you lower it it's so low that the car just goes to negative. Even the tire center I went to said "we can't do camber adjustment on your car anymore, it's too low that it'll just be like that." What I do to minimize the uneven tire wear is to balance the tire every 3 months and align it the same time.
