You don't want to drop 'till the oil pan scrapes the ground, but these do look like good products for what you want to do. I think they serve the Austrailian racing sedans, and have grades of products based on how hard you race.

www.k-mac.com/mercedes

Also, you want tires with max rotation capacity, as edge wear will be hard to control. No directional, no asymetric (this side out on sidewall). You should try to reverse the direction of rotation when rotating the tires. If possible, plan to dismount and remount "reversed" on wheel at least one time if it can be done without damaging the tires.

I am running on the HR sport springs now. I am due for some new tires for my 19 inch wheels. I am thinking of running a 235/40 19 (f) and 255/35 19 (r). Do you think I iwll have any issues?

Curious how much everyone paid to get the springs installed?

And any recommended shops in the CT / NY area

H&R does not list SS spring for the 4MATIC, due to differences in spring positioning vs the RWD. Did you have any problems mounting them, and did they show anything unusual when loaded on the ground ... like excessive drop or lack of drop?

For the same reason, bilstein sells B8 shocks for drop springs on the RWD, but not the 4MATIC.

H&R offers sport springs for the 4MATIC's, and also for the RWD with different part numbers. But their engineers said that the SS springs are for rwd only, with only one part number. For some reason they did not bother making the special front coil needed for the 4MATIC (suspension altered for the front half shafts).

At least least 1 memeber has posted about doing what you did, 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 side was compressed from hard braking, etc.

Have you had any noises like this from the front?

Anyone on SuperSports running shorter endlinks in the front? If so, how much shorter than stock? I'm running adjustable ones which currently are about 2in shorter than stock but wondering if that's too short.

I am wondering the same thing.. but if you look closely our w204 rear wheel wells are larger than the front thats why it "looks" lower in the back but its even overall.

H&R Super Sports are going to be my next mod, but I can't decide between stock spring pads or 5mm spring pads. I want an even gap on all four corners. I've heard accounts that with 5mm pads, the rear tire tucks a bit, but I can't really tell from the pictures I've seen.

Hie Guys!

I am in dilemma in switching my current AMG sport package springs to HNR SS.

Current setup

F: 19x8 (if im not mistaken) with 235/35/19
R: 19x9.5 (if im not mistaken) with 265/30/19

Problem is when the road is uneven (like roller coaster) the rear tires tend to scratch the body even it is just me alone.

Any suggestion from dear all experienced MB owners?

A picture for some reference

I'm running CV3's R 19X10 265/30/19 lowered on H&R Super sports, no issues. Are these the precision series ?

Euro:

Yeah it is the precision series. I bet the offset for the rear is not suitable.

I have just attached another pic with 19x9.5 (previous rims before RIP) I have no issue with heavy load.

Was wondering if I could adjust the rear camber (if any) so the upper tires will face in like "A" from the rear view together with HNR SS. Afraid il be wasting my time if it is still rubbing.

I'm doing the HR SS at the end of the month and I love the stance on that grey one. He mentioned he used 5mm pads on the rear. How can I maintain a clean subtle rake? The last thing I want is my car sitting lower in the rear by a noticeable margin. I've also heard that using 5mm front and rear can cause this. Any ideas?
