Cool Here are my wheel pics with H&R, #2 (9mm) front, (17mm - largest available) rear.






It's hard to see but the front has a hair less than 1" gap and the rear
has exactly a 1" gap on level ground.

Your drop is perfect

Hey man your drop looks great. I want to ask you what I should do to my ride. I have a c280 dropped with h&r springs too. 1.4 inchin the front and 1.3 in the back. I have 18ch rims on it. The car rubs alot in the front on turns and hops too when driving. I got bigger pads for my car but would you suggest something else.

A couple of questions: What number pad is in the front? What series tires are
you using (i.e. 225/35/18 etc.)?

trbo, I have been thinking about lowering my c230 especially after seeing your pics. However, I do have a couple of questions you might be able to answer. 1) do you notice any rubbing with the car lowered at all? and 2) do you have to be careful when you enter a driveway or go over a speed bump so that you do not hit bottom? Many thanks!

I have no problems at all with 225/45/17 tires. Again, I'm using the #2 pad in
front and the largest in the rear (17mm). Also, I haven't noticed anything when pulling into my driveway or general driving around town; to work etc.
