You eventually need to change struts with lowering springs since the stock struts aren't designed to work with the springs. You struts will bottom out since its not getting its full travel which will cause it to wear out faster. H&R with koni is always a good combo.

Benefits with the koni yellows is that they are adjustable so you can set it to your driving preference, soft to firm. Also with the konis they will lower your car a little bit more.

It should be a little over $300 with shipping and installation cost. Do some research, you might be able to find some better deals

With mine, you can hear the whole care shake and rattle when going over bumps and cracks. However, when I was in holycaoAMG's 2001 C320, it handles very well through bumps and cracks. Even with his one coil removed in the front, it's very civilized and quiet like stock. And springs on mine weren't cut and were both on 19's
