There are two kits actually. If you buy the kit marketed for the "RWD" cars it is front 1.7 and rear 1.8, but if you buy the "4Matic" kit it's only 1.2 and 1.2.
Both kits work on both car but for some reason H+R marketed different kits and labeled them "only".

Where can i find a front .17 and rear 1.8 spring kit?
My problem is that the front always "look" higher than the rears even though the car is flat. This is mostly due to the back wheel well being smaller, I know it's a visual trick but I hate it.
What I have done on two cars so far is cut cut front springs to make it look even. Don't go crazy on me, it is not the right thing to do but it is something I was willing to do on both cars for that perfect to me stance.
I have seen w204s looking like this.
I don't want mine to be like that.
What are my options out there?
Here are my 71 250c and 72 bmw 2002 sitting the way I want

I would recommend the Flatout 5710's.. Not to be presumptuous but based on your previous posts, you seem to have a decent budget to be working with... I would recommend the 5710's to anyone, if not for the amazing product, but for the equally as good customer service.
I may have missed some/misnamed some, others can chime in on that matter.
What are they from? Do you know?
That I believe depends on your steering knuckle design which MAY depend on whether or not you have 4Matic, or it may be completely unrelated. If you want to know what I'm talking about, look at the mounting position on the bottom of the front dampeners/macpherson strut assembly, then go to Flatout's website and check out the same part on the 5710 model.
Quite a different approach. The ones you have posted do not allow for Camber adjustment at the knuckle, and by the looks of it, without aftermarket camber plates do not allow for any camber adjustment at all.
Easiest way for me to check (in regards to fitment) would be to provide me with your VIN.
Although a public VIN is harmless (hence why it can be found from OUTSIDE your car, and is frequently posted on auto ads) if you do not feel comfortable (on an anonymity basis) with providing it in the form of a post, feel free to PM me! Up to you if you want to at all.
Hope I can help!
Also, if you're thanking me, the thanks button works great too!! Plus makes me look like a baller... Hahaha, hope to be of help!
I have been extensively running through this thread and the internet looking for the right suspension to get. I feel like getting the H&R Sports because they are the ones made for my car and I don't want to run into issues, but the Ss just look great. I know people have them on their 4matics which is what I have so they do interest me.
I was also looking at the coilovers but the KW V3 just seem way overpriced, and I haven't seen anyone that actually has megan racing/flatouts/d2 on their 4matics
My biggest question is would I rub with my current setup if I decided to go with the H&R Super Sports.
I have:
19x8.5 235/35/19 +40 front
19x9.5 265/30/19 +45 rear
Alot of the posts I've read have had +48-50 in the rear for offsets.

They make Super Sports for the 4matics it is just less of a drop then what you are talking about. What you are talking about is 4matic guys (like myself) running the "RWD" Super Sports which give you an extra half inch of drop. You won't have any issues. I have no clue why H+R marketed the two differently. I've run them for 6k miles so far without a single issue...as well as many other members. The Sports barely give you any drop, and you'll probably want more just an fyi.

Do you have a link for the 4matic super sports? All I have come across is regular sports for the 4matic.
I have a 13' Coupe C350 4matic that I want to lower using lowering springs.
I seem to not find springs specifically designed for a 4matic coupe. I want a drop of about 1" not more. Should I buy springs that are made for 4matic sedan?

To my knowledge there is no difference. I have a 14 C300 4matic sedan and I'm using "rwd" H+R Super Sports.
I think you should look into the Super Sports....you may be dissapointed with anything less than that drop.
Hey guys anyone know if any of these springs are okay to go on a 2012 c250 coupe amg pack with dynamic handling?? Keep reading its not a good idea and others saying its fine..
Hey guys I have a 2014 c350 4matic coupe. I have read this forum 3 times lol and I think I feel comfortable with putting super sports on my car. Even though they aren't made for my car I hear that it will be fine. My question is if I'm running 19x8.5 in front with 235's will I rub? Most people run 235 and say it's great so I'm unsure about my setup. Thanks.

What's your offset on the fronts? I run 19x8.5 45offset on H&R SS and I used to rub badly on 235/35s when turning. I rub very rarely now with 225/35s, I run DWSes.
