Question Took my decision now i need help with the finishing

Ok guys i have a C230k 2002 and i just got myself 19 inch rims with 35 series tires. I'm ordering the H&R cup kit next week (when i get my pay) and i need help with a few things. First off i hear that changing the pads on which the springs rest could lower my car even more? is this true for the front and back? anybody have a part number?

I'm looking at lowering the ride as much as possible without cutting the springs. any other suggestions?

Thanks guys

Not sure about the front, but you can lower your car even more with No.1 pads in the rear spring perch.

you can search this forum on "spring pads" or the
www.csportcoupe.com where I found most of my info

My car has the H&R kit on it already (dealer install) and the back is low enough but the front is too high, I was looking into the spring pad idea but I haven't seen anything! Does anyone have any info on where i can get a #1 pad????

I think the pads only apply for the rear....the front don't use pads...

You can get the pads from your MB dealers ... there are 4 pads, the thinnest one is about 5mm and the thickest one is about 15mm I think ... the other 2 are in between...
