un-even drop
H&R consistantly seems to make springs that drop a lot more in the back than in the front. Part of this is a visual effect since the back fender is lower, but front ride height is def. an issue.
On my previous car, a 1998 M3, I went through H&R Sport Springs and H&R Race springs, had the same problem. It wasn't until I got coilovers that the issue was resolved. I notice many c-class owners that have the same complaint as well.
I went CO's this time on my benz, and you can SLAM it but they are expensive. =(
There isn't much you can do at this point. Whatever you decide, please DON'T think about cutting the springs...some people I've seen do this, and it gives a sweet drop, but rides like an 80's fleetwood.
With all that being said, you have a beautiful car, man! Are your rims the Monet, Moven, or ACE version? They're hot.
