MB C230 Coupe
I think H&R only makes Sport springs for the coupe.
BTW> has anyone had any experience with Kleeman or Renntech Lowering springs?
The prices are too much apart from H&R and would like to know how they "ride"?
I really liked the pictures of the lowered RENNtech C-Coupes.. I wonder if it's just the 18" wheels that are making them sit so nicely.?

Am i getting the work done at the mercedes dealer? YEA RIGHT my dealer doesnt stop talking me out of buying after market things for my car i asked them to do the work for me and they said NICE TRY. They even talk me out of getting good parts from mercedes tuners like RennTech, Brabus, and others they dont agree with adding anything things that are after market for the car. and i dont agree with them. By the way the place i am having the work done is a mekanic that works on mercedes alot so i hope he does a good job. he told me it will take 5-6 hours and he wont allighn it for me and neaither will tire kingdom they said they will not work on a lowered car.

Lowering SPrings
H&R, Eibach, Bilstein, KLEEMANN, RennTech etc. All offer excellent springs, each probably having different specs. Installing the springs should take between 3 and 5 hours depending on the skills and tools the installer has. I can do springs in a W203 in 3 hours no problem.
Alignment: Most lowering springs drop about 1.3 to 1.5 inches. The days are gone where every aspect of front end alignment is adjustable from MBZ. Toe is the only thing there is a mechanical adjustment for. If you find that you have too much negative camber MBZ sells a bolt kit for the front (nothing for the rear) that will eliminate about .5 dg neg/pos camber. This bolt kits is available for every chassis, AMG vehicles come with the bolt kit installed as they are lower than standard.
