Which springs have the least amount of drop?

Hey everybody, I was wondering if you guys can tell me which aftermarket springs give the least amount of drop. I prefer a 1" drop. Also, is there any thing in particular I need to know when changing out the springs? I've worked on a lot of different suspensions (vw, hondas and other strut type suspensions), but never a mercedes. Thanks in advance.

How about you start with the Mod/DIY sticky up top prior to just simlpy asking. This may sound harsh but your questions have already been covered numerous times.

Well, I did do some reading, but I couldn't find what I wanted. If it bothers you so much, why did you read the post then??

Yes, I realize that. However, if one was just going to search the boards without asking any questions, 90% of the posts would not exist because the answers could be found by searching. Most questions/discussions are rehashed over and over again. Do you agree? Besides, I'm a noob!

An interesting concept; searching and finding the answer compared to cluttering the search function for another in their future endeavour.

Hmmmm

I agree. Don't you?

Unlike some other people, I can only spend 10-15 minutes a day on message boards because I have other things to do in life. I don't have much time to research. All I needed was a one word answer which a couple of people have already done (thanks guys). See how simple that was!

First post to last post covers a span of 3 hrs 01 mins. Based on the acknowledged speed, commented on by the membership, of MBW, I call that statement into question.

all nlpamg did was type in one word "suspension" in search and you can easily find your answer.
