FYI, for anyone thinking of getting lowering springs, I'd highly highly recommend H&R super sport and NOT H&R sports or Eibachs. Although I was able to get maybe an inch lower, super sports would have been perfect.

The front could stand to be lowered another inch and a half or so, the rears, but another inch. I wanted near zero wheel gap.

Looks real good Azn_C300. Great minds think a like white with black iForged! Where did you hear that a 19x10 offset would require fender modification. I got mine 19x10 in the rear I hope I don't have problems.

That was directly from IForged when they were measuring it.

do super sports effect gas milage in any way?

do they effect drving performance?

or strictly just looks and feel?

will they work with stock 18" amg rims?

they're just springs...won't affect gas mileage at all. Basically it's all ride and looks. Definitely feels stiffer and I can feel more of the road, which I like. Stock height was too 4x4 for me. If you're not as hard *** about wheel gap, Sports are fine, but if you're like me, super sports. They'll work fine with 18s. With the amount of gap I have left, I'd venture to say super sports would work with 20s as well.

If they lower the car, then they reduce frontal area, and that will improve gas mileage. Marginally. Don't expect miracles.

i was thinking of getting springs when i got my rims a couple months ago but i want to wait till they make the full coil over with the drive tran. My auto guy was telling me to wait cause our original oem shocks and springs are so made down to the tee that its better to wait until they make sumthing... And i want to beable to adjust how low i want... For now i hide some bricks in my turck.. lol

Looks nice man...

10" will fit at the rear with 19" .... these Kleemann's are 8,5" front and 10" rear.

I'll keep that in mind when I take my next step in a few years and upgrade to HREs
