Cause I just bought the SS springs and 19 rims.
I honestly don't feel much of a difference(and I am female). Ive got the HR springs and 19 vertini wheels.

Very nice! Gnosis HS201 right? What are the wheel & tire sizes?

What's up guys! My question might had been covered before but I'm still confused. My coupe has advanced agility pkg. Will H&R sport spring or Eibach Pro spring work w/o any modification?

What can I do to drop(mild) the coupe that equipped with the advanced agility pkg? Thks

I normally don't carry many people. Usually its just two with two pitbulls.. but I have had 5 50+ lbs of dog food at one time and I did rubb on bumpy roads/interstate.. but not on side/feeder/neighborhood roads.

Does Eibach make Sportsline springs for the w204? are H&R better as most on this thread seems to be running them.

I ran Eibach Sportsline springs on my BMW 3 series and they were great for handling, car glued to the floor and comfort was surprisingly excellent, I was running 19s also. Car was slammed.

That's weird. Those offsets typically work on the w204, assuming you're running 19x8.5 in front and 19x9.5 in the rear. What brand and size are your tires?

there are loads of other well known companies that makes springs/suspensions.

Just to name a few;

Apex, PI, Spax.

has no one thought about trying them out? they seem cheaper.

They work.. just rubs sometimes(not on a daily basis just over large/huge dips in the road).. tires are the new nitto motivo's not sure the size off the top of my head and it's pouring rain outside.

Just to be sure, you have a switch on the dash for sport and comfort? That switch in sport makes the viscosity of the shock oil much thicker, making the ride very firm with little roll. It aso includes the basic sport and comfort adjustments of the transmission shift points.

AFAIK, Eibach only sells Pro-Kit's for the w204, which are close to the H&R sports in performance and drop. H&R also sells super sports for the big drop. these would be similar to eibach's sportlines, if they were available.

The H&R super sports are dual rate springs. They have a slightly stiffer rate for normal cruising, but are quick to change to a much stiffer rate with more load or deflection. They run into problems when the as-manufactured spring is off spec and when cruising, you are resting on the springs in stiff mode, providing a rough ride.
