I HATE the ride quality - both my 190D (driven for 200.000km after lowering) and C250D (driven for 500.000km after lowering) on eibachs were so much more comforteable then my C270CDI on H&R is (only drove it for 5000km after lowering).

Do you mean H&R springs on OEM shocks? Just want to make sure people understand exactly what it is you are asking about.

sorry i don't mean the hijack this thread. but i was wondering if anyone can give me a definitely answer to which one of the 3 springs that i list provides the best drop on C32.

here are the 3: H&R, Eibach, and Renntech

Also are Renntech springs really just covered-up Eibach springs??

I have Eibach springs and stock shocks...it drops about an inch front and rear!

The ride is fine just a little bumpier than stock

As far as I know, if you are looking only about 1 inch drop, Eibach will be your choice. H&R will lower the car more than Eibach. Hope that helps
