Nice! How many coils did you cut off? H&R super sports or sports?

How's the ride on your E55 with the set up? Both looks nice

I have the COs on but the stance isn't cutting it for me. It's barely tucking tires if not, half a finger gap maybe. Though I am still on 17s though.

supersports two coils and half of the bumpstop i was sitting like a little over a inch off the floor i f*ckn loved it so much!!! if you dont upgrade your shocks u will bounce all over the place it will feel like a boat (on crappy roads).
i decided to cut em because i saw azn c300 h&r coilovers and he had max low setting and it wasnt enough bleh didnt like it at all... his car is ill but didnt justify to spend that much on coilovers when i can cut springs and upgrade shocks.
dude on my stock 18's i was litterally on the floor LOL

the ride comfort on the 55 is at a 7 because im still on my factory rear struts... and im already bottomed out sitting on my bumpstops (which is only a 1/4 of what it was )

What shocks did you get blisten? Did you cut your springs and bumpstop, install springs/shocks by yourself?

Cutting springs??? I'm surprised people still do this, and even on a MB at that. It is very, very dangerous. If the springs fail they will get mangled like a paperclip. Lowering springs you can buy for a couple hundred $$ and you have to take them off the car anyway.

Just do a search on the interwebs if you still think cutting springs is OK and there's no issue.

+1...i dont know why people cut springs either. Just get coilovers and do it right the first time even if you have to save up some cash.

Yea, I've been debating whether to go cut springs or not. Unless someone knows about a set of coilovers that go lower than H&R?


http://airrex-usa.com/

Anybody know anything about these? It does say W204 +07 but I was wondering if anyone heard anything about them before I email them with questions. This will be an option if I can't find a good set of coilovers because I'd rather go static than bags.

^that guy was an idiot... " Bald as **** tires, cut springs on stock shocks.... " what do u think is gonna happen... and he sounded like some stupid kid who just got his license...

why cut em? why do people get the carlsson replica lip then getting the real ones? why do people put replica wheels? blah blah blah

h&r coilovers will run u like $1500? i can get lowering springs for around 250 koni yellows run about $120... so a little over half what you spent i can sit my ride lower than anyone on coilovers and can adjust my konis firmness whether daily commute or the track..

dont buy the kits online and stay away from bags... go hydro or you will run into problems unless you know what your doin... and have it done at a shop

ask for 1 pump 6 dump system
