What kind of wheels are you running? I just got back from my visit to Korea and honestly, unless you're in the countryside, roads there are fine enough that even a low drop won't' cause worries.
I'm currently running Eibachs with 5mm rear spring pads and I couldn't be happier. (Now if only I could get a decent alignment going).

I have H&R Sport Springs with 5mm pads i bought of Alex (snarlingchicken) couple of months ago. just got them installed last week; I like them but will probably change them out with Super Sports, just to go a little lower 
.
Thanks Alex!

to snarling, i'm running 235/35/19 and 255/30/19, any recommandations?
is 5mm spring pad a must have? or just better off to have?
i'm worried about the front, i realized the front tires hits the fender when i'm on high speed on bumpy highway.
so guys, if you were to get new lowering springs, would you get the one you are using right now? or try something else?

Did you get a new set of wheels already?to snarling, i'm running 235/35/19 and 255/30/19, any recommandations?

But if you're tires are rubbing on the highway, I might urge you to maybe get new wheels or tires....what are your offsets and what kind of wheels are you running? I absolutely pray that you didn't buy wheels from those tire shops off the side of the road that carry knock-offs of BBS....
Anyways, if I had the option of going lower, I think it would depend on the wheels I had. Most likely I would just opt for a nice set of 18" Forgestars or something, and stick with my Eibach's, but more than likely, if I opted for a set of 19"s, I would see if I could hold out for a set of coilovers.

very nice drive, although, to be frank, not a lot changes from the technical point of view, but a lot from the feeling prospective.

I really wanna put eibach or H&R but i've heard about some problems with the original coilovers! Some guys have destroyed them after 15k miles..
Is that true??

4matic C300
I know everyone has said to go with Supersports but have you done this on stock shocks. Also what is the ride quality like. Near stock "sport model" or like the ricer that bounces 16 times when it hits a road bump

Ricers bounce because they use low quality struts with low quality springs, or worse, cut the springs.
A quality OEM strut with quality springs (H&R, Eibach, etc.) should be fine.
I just ordered H&R Sports for my C300 4matic, can't wait to get them on!

Mecedes Benz C350
I realize that this is pretty late so I am hoping someone has an answer for me... so these pads are completely optional? I am looking to lower my w204 c350 with H&R super sports. 1.8" in the front 1.7" in the back...
I have never lowered any of my cars. What is the purpose of these pads and if its required really is my question..
