If they don't have the specs for a 2008 model I wouldn't have much confidence in them. Have you tried another shop?

Does it make a difference if these specs are for a 4matic?

The specs provide are for "without 4matic" so probably 4matics have a slightly different spec but probably just fractional and of little consequence.

I saw the specs for elegance and there is only a fractional / minute difference.

Thanks for those. Would the specs change now that I have lowered it with H&R springs?

I would say not. You def want to have it aligned before driving much at all.

Maybe H&R have specs - or some others who have lowered so you can verify...

Base on its sports pkg(code 486), is the specs for 17 inch or 18 inch wheels?

Thanks
