Eibachs for more than 7 months now. So far no problems to report. I'll let you guys know when it's time to replace the shocks.

No problems with camber and no need for camber plates. An alignment will bring the camber back. So far the tires a wearing well.

If anyone is looking to duplicate Eyemd's setup, I have a brand new in box set of Eibach springs for sale for a w204 C300/C350. This is a great deal for someone looking to lower 1.2" all around. Link to thread below:

so when the lowering springs state a 1.2" drop, does that mean 1.2" lower than the sport suspension, or 1.2" lower than luxury?

so really, we're only getting about 0.5" lower than sport suspension? Since the sport suspension drops it about 0.75" to begin with.

Correct. With the Pro-Kit, you get a subtle drop of about 1/2" from the sport suspension. IMHO just enough to make a difference without have a slammed look.

Check out the photo below. If you want it lowered more, you'll have to go H&R Sports.
