Allright thats all for now. This server is sooooo slow, takes me like 3 min to post a pic.

What you guys think of my progress?

 

looks good ed.... what i am trying to figure out is will eibach springs create same drop? I was told that eibach makes brabus springs but wasn't sure what to believe. Looks really good .......

 

Hey Oz

Yeah, I think the Eibach is about the same drop. which is around 1.2 inches arond. From my research I read that Eibach leans more to comfort with some handling and Brabus is Comfort with Significant increase in Handling( my car handles 200% better than stock) I really wanted a handling difference so I went with Brabus.

Thanks for the comments.

 

thx 4 the pics...
very nice drop...

does it feel stiffer w/ just brabus springs?

 

np, thanks

Yeah It is noticeably stiffer, but not uncomfortable. I just feel the road more and have more control in the handling department. I think the biggest difference is the tires. I Went from Michelin MX4(most comfty tire) to Pilot Sports ( least comfy tire). But handling is incredible! Yet the ride is pretty smooth for the most part

 

Looks way better with that drop. Kinda like a 04.5. Has anyone done a side-by-side comparison with a 04.5 drop and a Eibach/HR/Brabus drop?

 

So the only thing that you added to lower the car are the brabus springs? what do those go for price wise? the drop is perfect!!!

 

i like the drop. Damn those rusted rotors

 

I think there was some pics here when someone bought there 04.5. The front gap is still a bit bigger but not by too much.

Eibach and Brabus are about the same I think. H&R Sport is a little bit lower. The H&R Cupkit is lowest look, but not suitable for comfortable driving and potholes etc IMO.

 

Yeah just the springs with stock shocks.

The price is kind of steep for springs. I think it was $390. The brabus spring/shock combo is about $1275 Thats why I just got the springs. The springs are worth it.

 

looks beautiful now you just need to cut atleast half a coil in the front hehehe

 

very nice drop... so perfect.

 

nice...

the ride height doesn't look too different from the stock C32 AMG height tho.

 

Very nice look and I'll bet it handles way better. How's your ground clearance? you hit any major bumps on the road yet?

I put Eibachs on my Mustang and it dropped the front just a wee bit too much - I keep having to lookout for bumps/potholes etc, I've smacked the convertible brace a couple of times... but it handles so much better

 

Nope it looks good! Ed what happened w/your audio? You arent getting the comand anymore?

 

noble,

are you driving a little more carefully now? wondering if you are driving in an angle in driveways... and if u have enuf clearance to park over the cement thingy in the parking lot...

 

Thanks for the Comments everyone!


Frank: Maybe its the angle I took it but the front is a good inch lower than a stock C32

Keith: Yeah the handling is amazing! About bumps on the road, I Usually just go over them fine. Its rougher than stock though. I just go over antything unless its like a huge dip. My driving style has stayed pretty much the same. I dont think I have scraped anything...

Enri: DVD/Audio might come late but not a priority right now. Will probably go aftermarket though. I really want DVD based.

Mj: I drive somewhat carefully. The front is not too low so Im not too paranoid about messing up the bumper. I do go more slowly down driveways and and bumps but I dont do that snake move/go diagnally etc. I think the car would go just above the cement block! I tried it once and it was very close to touching.
