Blazeitup123's C350 4MATIC w SUPERSPORTS
Ok, its my turn.
Most of my details are in my sig, but its spring time and i had my car clean for a short amount of time, so here it is...enjoy!
Sorry for the dark shots of the diffuser, the pics come from my HTC Desire, i couldn't find the DSLR in the house and the sun was dropping fast.
The only thing that have changed since Sunday are a black licence plate bracket and i touched up the chips on the exhaust tips.
Front tire/fender gap is half a finger and the rear is tucked about the same. i'm sure the front is still going to come down a bit, the springs have maybe 400 kms on them.
Feel free to comment or just say hi!

Clean looking C you got there... tasteful choice of mods
Are you using Philips Ultinon?
Your springs should settle a little more after a few hundred miles... you will have zero wheel gap after then

C350 4matic Obsidian Black
Thank you so much for sharing. I'm getting a 19inch with ur springs on my 4matic as well. Do I really need the spring pads in the rear? What does spring pad do?

5mm spring pads will lower the rear around 12mm more over the stock pad which i believe is 18mm.
It has a more level to the ground look in my eyes, stock pad would still have the forward rake look.

Looks perfect!
Correct me if I am wrong but I thought that most after market springs were not recommended for 4matic and vehicles fitted with Dynamic handling pack. I know guys on here have fitted H&Rs but not Eibach and Brabus who strictly dont recommend it. I`m struggling to understand how the Eibach springs are much different from H&R ones other than drop height and spring rate. I`ve got the dynamic pack on mine but want to fit Eibachs to keep the ride soft. I would leave it as it is but it looks like an Audi All road at the moment even though its a sport version!

LOADED 08' C350 & 14' GLK-350 Diamond White (P1, MM, AMG Pkg, Ln Trkng, Htd Sts, Keylss Go)
on mine with same stock wheels, the gaps are uneven with the 5mm spring pad in the rear instead of the stock 13mm pad on super sports
rear is slightly tucked, front is perfect
Did you notice this on your' after more miles, or do you think that or gaps front and back are still perfectly equal?
Also, what do you think about losing the factory "rake"? I am debating putting back the stock pads if I dont buy coils soon but wonder if there are any advnatageous aerodynamics I am missing out on without the rake...

i do like the level look rather than the rake.
As for aero... i don't know. i'm always in the city and normally drive the speed limit. Don't get me wrong i'm no stranger to the red line but i'm Form>Function.

~45SPEC F 19x8.5 235/35/19 R 19x9.5 265/30/19 Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta
5MM spacer in the rear.
Bolts and spacers were lost in shipping so on only have 1 5mm pair from my amg set up.
The wheel shop did a conversion kit to lug nuts rather than lug bolts.
Turning radius is the same i figure. No issues with turning. The ride is very smooth with these wheels after a re balance. For the price i paid i could not be happier.

Do you think you rub because the spacers or because you have the bigger 19" wheels?
i assume you did not rub with the stock wheels and spacers?

5mm spacers on stock wheels is fine. plenty of room. check out the pics in the first post from last year. i have 5mm on the rear and there is still lots of room.
