thank for any help

Unfortunatly there are no spring pads on the front suspension with our cars. I had rubbing issues on both my fronts after lowering on super sports, since I wasn't willing to roll my fenders I ended up having to go with a skinnier tire; 235/35 r19 to a 225/35 r19. Since your only rubbing on the one side maybe someone else can chime in here with a easier fix?

Anyone else rubbing on here? I put on the H&R SS on Niche Verona's 19x8.5 ET35 on 235/35. Only rubs on nice size dips and it rubs where the bumper and fender meet. There is a piece of plastic that connects the bumper and fender that sticks out pretty good. Almost positive the tires are rubbing on that. Anyone else have that issue?

Are you rubbing in the front or rear? I've got a similar setup but 265s in the rear and it hasn't rubbed with as much as 3 people in the car. It might be the 8.5 in the rear but your car looks lower in the rear, are you running stock pads for the rears?

I was gonna say yours is quite a bit lower than the Mrs but just noticed you swapped pads.

Looks good though. Just roll em not a big deal. Not like it damages resell in my opinion. No different than someone denting a floor pan pulling out of an undercover garage, out of sight out of mind.

Which rear spoiler do you have? I like that one much more than the aggressive flip up one.

Hi folks!

Does anyone know if W204 (sedan) and S204 (Estate) springs is the same?

I know there can be a change in the axel-load, but i want to know if you can take a W204 spring and mount it on a S204, if you look beside axel-load.

2014 C300 Sport

So who is running RWD H+R Super Sports on a 4matic C300? I want to verify they will fit before I buy them. I have heard a few of you are running them with the 1.7/1.8 drop over the actual 4matic SS which are 1.2/1.2.

The rear settled a little more than in the photo. It's on stock spring pads. Wish I had gone with a thinner spring pad, but oh well.
