C350 lowering spring-height
Hi All
I am going to get H&R lowering springs for my C350. They have the sport spring, which lowers 1.4" front, 1.2" back. They also have the super sport spring, lowers 1.7" front, 1.8" back.
I was wondering if anyone out there has their W204 lowered already.
I am torn between the 2 choices. I don't want a big gap between the fender and the tires and I don't want the car to sit way too low either (problem with driving on uneven pavement and the bad for the shocks). I am hoping to get around 1 small finger gap in between. Please give me some advise.
Oh, i am getting 19" wheels.
thanks all.

X3 and 2012 C coming soon
There are examples of both here. You may need to search. The super sports are too low in my opinion. They make the wheels look tucked. Unless your going with some wider wheels, that may look strange. I am going to use Eibachs and with my AMG 18" wheels with 10 mm spacers on the rears.

pictures?
Does any have pictures to show both setting? I really need to get an idea.
I am looking for about 1 finger gap between the tires and fender.
I put Eibach springs on my Audi A6 with 19" wheels. It only drops 1.2" and after a year of driving it, still got 2.5 finger gap. Totally regret not getting a shorter set. If I get the sport spring, is it gonna be like that??? i hope not.

A lot of us are waiting for the EuroTeck carbon fiber front lip spoiler that'll be out end of July. With the extra lowering from super sport, I'm worried the lower front with the lip will cause too much scraping. Coilovers would be best since you can adjust, but there are no coilovers out yet and I haven't heard about any ETA on them. As such, my progression will be Sport Springs -> Front Lip -> Coilover replacement instead of ideally Coilover -> Front Lip.

I see... I was a bit confused and worry that it has something to do with the LIP of the rims hitting the fender. So, it's the LIP of the front bumper/spoiler. I think I will skip that. Spent wayyyy to much money in one year with my Audi A6 and now MB C350. Plus, AMG style is classic. Good luck to you guys though.
