Cut H&R SS Coils?
H&R SS Springs, Pic and description
IMHO, Cut 1/2 coil off each end. Say first cut the bottom of a front coil. Then be careful to measure the length of the cut, and exactly match that cut on the opposite side's bottom of the front coil. Visually, it looks like there will be enough flattened, small dia coil remaining to seat properly in the rubber seats. If not, try 1/3 coil off.
Other CO's ... Megan, Buddy Club, D2?
These are between $800-$1000, and are good for dropping the car for show. Shocks are included.
Megans have been tried:

My H&R Sport springs also didn't give me that much drop but I didn't know at that time if the H&H SS would fit and also if their is negative consequences in installing them since they are not recommended by tire rack for the c300 4matic

At least least 1 memeber has posted about doing what you're thinking of, and he found that the front spring was not stiff enough, and easily hit coil bind hard. This resulted in a nasty knock when the the front end or a front corner was compressed from hard braking, etc.

Ive spoke to a couple of people and they told me to put 5MM rear pads,im quite confuse does that make my front lower of higher,and will the rear pads fit the front?
