Unhappy Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I know there are going to be a lot of people mad at me for posting this kind of thread again, but I have to do it. I still have yet to lower my car and I was wondering if there were people who could post a picture of their car lowered and also give the entire configuration. What I mean is wheel size (f,r), tire size (f,r), springs, shocks, pad numbers (f,r), does it rub, do you like it, everything. I have yet to find a quality thread where this all posted with many examples. If this is done correctly, the next time another person like me asks this question, we can direct them straight to this thread. If it means anything to anyone, I am planning on going H&R sport springs, bilsteins, and #1's in the front and #2's in the rear. 18x8 in front and 18x9 in rear. Thank you to everyone who is willing to put up with this because I think this could be very beneficial.

It's not really beneficial. Each C-class is different, plus the weights of the car vary by what options are installed.

Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! stop asking us!!!!!!

The combination you just mentioned will be perfect. You may have to fine tune the pad sizes. I already showed you my pictures, told you what I have, and gave you wheel sizes. There's no point in me giving you pad sizes because my #2 could equal TP's #5 in height. You won't rub with 18 by 8's in the front. If you want my suggestion start with a 3 in front and a 3 in rear and then go up or down from there. Enjoy.
