New Springs!???
Hi,
I'm looking for new springs for droping my car, but I don't want to drop too much, just to give a better look.
I was watching the eibach springs and all lower the cars 1,5"!!! For what I want its to much!
I previously had a bimmer and Audi that were dropped, but now I like so much the confort of my car that I don't want to drop 1,5" (+-3cm) and don't want to scratch my beautifull AMG bumper.
I'm thinking changing springs because in a near future I will need new shocks.
So, any one knows How really the eibach springs drop or any other springs that only lower a bit more than stock? in the Tuv aproval for eibach they mention 2,5cm...
I was looking for 1-2cm max, and even the coil-overs only start at 2-3cm but they are too expensive for me now, since I'm thinking to trade my car in 2 years...
Shocks I will go for Bilstein or Koni, didn't decided yet.
Thanks for any help

The eibach springs will drop that much on the luxury 240/320. That is what those #'s were based on.
That being said, I'm not sure how it would be with your 220CDI. I don't know what the weight difference is between that and all the other w203 models.
If the CDI came with a sport suspension already, I'd go with springs that were based off the 230 sport spring setup (i.e. TEIN S-tech, H&R and/or Vogtland).

H&R springs are the ones that lower the most...
TEIN I don't have a dealer in Portugal, but I will take a look
Vogtland I will see also.
But in general I think the sport springs of any brand lower the car +- 3cm, the ideal thing was a sctok replacing spring, not sport models, but that could lower 1-2cm!
Lowering:
TEIN S-TECH: 1,9cm
Eibach: 25-30cm
H&R: 3,5cm front 3,3cm rear
I allready sent email to eibach...
