What spring are you using? I think the front needs lower a bit.

it looks good, but the fronts don't look that much lower than stock.

I think that looks good as it is as i am not a big fan of the slammed look. It's up to you though. You know what they say about cutting springs.

Check with Harbor Motorsport on harbor in Santa Ana, never did the work there, but I saw many mercedes there. If you want to drive further, I did my CO install at Status in Hermosa Beach.

only cut half a coil in the front. after it settles it should look like mine, cutting half a coil off wont hurt anything.

They will settle.

I like the wheels. Very nice.

Also, pulling them apart to cut the springs could be a pain in the butt.
Eventually the shocks will go. Maybe do it then, or upgrade to CO's at that time.
