Is that the lowest the front can go? I like the look of the front lower than the back. Makes a whole lotta difference though. GJ

It looks good! I'm thinking of lowering my C55 a bit and was considering H&R or Vogtland (had them on my C32). So you went with the Sports and not the OE Sports correct?

Ain't gonna happen. The C-Class has a factory rake to it that appears to be an optical illusion because of how the fender wells are not symmetrical. The back "appears" lower than the front because of the smaller fender gap than the front has. If you were to draw a straight line from the top of the fender well in front to the fender well in the rear, you'd see what I'm referring to. If i were to drop the front lower to make the gap "appear" to be the same, the car would be way lower in the front than the back and give even more of a raked look that doesn't appeal to me.


I also do a TON of commuting and don't want the car any lower than it is with the H&R drop.

I don't mean to be a pain but could you post some more picks of the side in the daytime in natural lighting? I was looking at the ones Evosport has on their site here: http://www.evosport.com/product/default.aspx
Do you know which ones yours are?

Looks great! That's always the problem with springs though, the front tends to sit higher.

So...does having the rake look have less aerodynamic drag?
