moar low?
Hey guys, right now im rolling on stock 17"s and H&r super sports with 5mm rear pad.
I want more low and suggestions, would coilovers help or would it just be as low as supersports.
any suggestions would be cool and if its on the lower end of spending zz casue if I buy coils I wont be able to get rims

I posted my h&r coilovers dropped to the fullest and
someone with the super sports said the dropped looked like his
I heard BC Coilovers drop a good amount. I emailed but all they said were they don't know and that it's enough to minimize wheel gap -_-

Thinking about heating up but idk yet cuz SS might not be able to handle it and the spring rate might change dramaticly, what do you think? And If I cut I have to go back to stock springs, b/c super sport has a weird shape to it as in both ends are small and progressivly gets bigger

yeah dont cut the HR springs, they have a twister setup and are meant to stay one piece, you will be taking some chances on that. Stock springs are ghetto cut all the time, but it makes the ride crappy, theres no rythym in the spring rate like manufactured springs have. U could get rid of the pad and just use a plate I beleive and get a tiny bit more, but bigger wheels like 18 or 19 fill the gap too and make the car look lower, so get urself some wheels and u will probably love it...........didnt think about the bigger wheel theory did u?

Though bigger wheel but wont make my car more flush against the floor, here in California your either low or your out of the game ahaha. So bigger wheels wouldnt make me lower in theory smaller wheels would but then it would have a gap

I haven't seen any air bag set up that is just plug and play for our cars. Not in pictures anyways. There's company like KSport air suspension, Air Force Suspension, and Air Rex. Those are only ones I know from the top of my head but those go for around 3-5 grand. UAS ( universal air suspension) made a custom set up for a c-class that I posted a picture of a while back.
One thing I heard about running air suspension on our cars though are front clearance issues which was also an issue with the w203.
I'm in the same boat as you. I've been into the stance scene for a while. I just want to tuck tires though. I don't want anything too excessive. I wouldn't mind going a little camber to get clearance as well. If there are bags out there that works, I wouldn't mind getting them.
