Stock to AMG to H&R Springs.

My c320 suspension went out a while back when I switched to the c32 amg setup. I wanted a bit lower look so I went to h&r cup kit. Same kit Steve has and also same problem Steve has with the rear being low. THe rear pad is a 3 in my car so I may need a 4 to level it out. With the AMG setup, you can feel the road a bit more. THe HR feels softer and you don't feel as many bumps on the road. I will be taking pics and posting them. I am waiting on some 18" rears to come in and I will slap those on as well. Same wheels Steve has except with Tire pressure sensors. Oh, I forgot to mention that my AMG setup is up for sale. Has 12k on it.

I agree that the H&R springs are too low. Im running a #2 pad, and it will rub with a passenger over bumps. I've trimmed some plastic, but eventually I want to put the #4 back in there

How much do you want for your AMG setup? What part of Texas are you in?

just the springs with koni shocks. The rear looks good, but too low. It needs to be raised up some, or more camber needs to be added. It rubs a lot when driving with wife and toddler.
