H&R supersports here. The way to go for springs!

I might be selling them soon to make the switch to coilovers. Let me know if youre interested. Located in so cal.

I was thinkin asking about $150 for them.

Depends on what you're going for, but personally I'd go with super sports. I had H&R sports before and wasn't happy with the drop at all so switched to coilovers. Would have been cheaper to do it once and do it right in the first place.

Do you have any more side shots? Also, did you switch to the smaller spring pads?

Michael, was it just the drop that you didn't like? or was there other factors? I'm loving the drop, but if there are other things i might consider otherwise. Thanks!

20" wheels with H&R Sports and no other mods. Car has settled atleast a 1/2" since these pics too. It's awesome looking now. I need to get some more updated pics now.



Me personally, I think if you're going with 18's or 19's I'd sit on super sports, anything bigger and sports will have a good look without tucking the wheels too far. But that's just me.

Good luck with your decision!

Here are pics of my super sports on 19s... no 5mm pad. The first 2 were taken a day after they were installed. The last one was taken 2 days later after a guy ran a red light and put a big hole in my side fender.

You can but there's going to be a lot of space between the tire and the fenders. It doesn't look right. It give you the 4x4 look. If you're going to spend good money for new rims and tires, you may as well spend the extra money to make it look flush.

You can put 18 or 19 inch wheels on your C class using stock springs... I don't see any reason why you can't.

It will just look better with H&R Super Sports since it will minimize or get rid of the wheel gap
