C300 Sports 4-Matic
Lowered 4Matic Owner, Please stand up.

Hello All,

4Matic owner here and planning to Lower my car soon.

I've searched the forum but didn't find much discussion specificly dropping a 4Matic.

I also went to Eibach website and they don't have any available spring for AWD. I believe that H&R don't have them as well, unless i'm not reading them correctly.

Any information on which Spring/Store to buy for a 4Matic/AWD will be greatly appreciated.

Sometimes I feel like owning a 4Matic is being handicapped when it comes to suspension mods though, I live in NY and 4Matic is no doubt very useful and needed for everyday driving in winter season.

Thank you in advance.

I actually have been looking for the same type of thread too. Glad you started one. I have also seen the occasional mention of lowering springs.

Another round of ICE
I personally don't enjoy either the look or the suspension performance from a drop, but I can respect that folks in Florida and California have different preferences. But, a 4MATIC owner in the Northeast who bought that drivetrain to cope with winter wants to lower the car and plow into a less deep snowfall??
