hi guys!
juz install H&R super sports springs on my car. the height of the back is fine but the height of the front has 1 finger gap. ive driven the car once after putting in the springs. does it get lower later after driving it a few more times?

Can you post a picture of your car on the new springs?

cmann

yes i will soon.

If it doesn't settle in, you could replace the 13mm spring pads up front with 5mm pads. May be the perfect amount to level it our for you.

they will settle more. Give it a week or so of hard driving.

cmann

wat a relief to hear that. cant wait to c it settle more. wil post some pics wen da springs settle down. thx Azn

cmann

if it doesn't settle in a month i wil consider da 5mm pads. thx C300

You can replace the spring pads upfront? I was under the impression that you can't do that since there aren't any pads to replace up front for the w204? Thought you can only replace the rear pads.

This has indeed been a source of confusion. Both RBM Mercedes and Mercedes of Buckhead say they have 13mm pads upfront. Besides, you can not have the spings seated metal to metal. Anyhow, I have not done my springs yet, but maybe someone who has can confirm once and for all??

I went to the dealer asking for spring pads and they said they only have them for the rear. I asked about the front and they said they only have one size. If there is a way to get a smaller spring pad for the front, I'm all ears. I really want to get my front a little lower too.
