new set of Brabus springs for w202 on eBay
Just in case you guys were considering lowering your cars, just saw this set of Brabus on eBay (starting bid at $150)...

I have the Brabus on my '99 C280 Sport w/ Bilstein Sport Shocks and I can say the ride is comfortable and handling is tight.

You Never Know. TP had the same ones up there for $200 and no one bid on them. Luckily he was local so I just bought it off him w/out shipping charges.
Here's a pic of what my '99 C280 Sport looks like w/ the Brabus springs and Bilstein Sport Shocks (225/45/17- front & 245/45/17- rears):

Hey Narci,
I used the stock pads in front #1 and had to change the rears to #4 pads (original on the '99 sport was #1).
Nope... rears are 245/45/17. I love them that way... I hate 40 profile... too rough of a ride for me. Had 40's on a civic before and it was hard as a rock... not enough rubber to give it the extra cushion. Everyone likes it a certain way... for me... I'll never have anything less than 45's, well... unless it's a 911 Carrerra C4 ( I think those come stock w/ 30 profiles on the rear!)

Kewl.
I'm looking for a set of srpings that will give me about 1/2 an inche of space in the fenders. My eibach's are too low for my taste with #2 pads up front and #3 out back.
Probably going to go with eurospec AMG springs and #1 pads all around.
