Lowered Pics !!!

Well, ......After putting on my new wheels two weeks ago, I decided I wanted to lower it too. Here are pics with the Eibach Pro Kit springs installed. I don't notice any difference on the ride, but it does corner much better with no body roll at all like the stock sport suspension had. I am very happy with the look, as well as the change for the better in the way my car now corners.
P.S. sorry for the crappy IPhone pics.

like your wheels and I know exactly how you feel with the Eibach pro kit. I used to have that on my CLK320. I now have the H&R on my 500.

I had the alignment done when I had the springs installed. The alignment really did not need any tweaking after the install. They marked off exactly where the front struts were prior to removal, but checked to make sure everything was with in spec............It was a pretty big job for the front struts about three or more hours. The rears took only twenty minutes per side, and the alignment was close to an hour. I was having second thoughts through out the install .The end result was worth the wait though.

The front struts have to come out so that you can take them apart to remove the coil springs. It was a lot of work. I watched the tech through out the install. I was nervous but he knew what he was doing.

According to Eibach, the drop is 1.2" for the front and rear. Not too low just right for my taste. No camber kit is required with this modification .
