Would you please take a few pictures of these springs, as they have special spacing variations between the coils, to give the spring a "progressive" spring rate, better described as a "dual rate" spring (I already have pics of some other "less aggressive" springs, that I will use to made a thread about the spring options and how they work on the car).
> ride on soft rate with some space between each coil, when cruising with light car load, people & stuff.
> ride on stiff rate when a wheel(s) is heavily loaded, like fronts from slamming on the brakes, or side wheels during a high G corner.
Here they are with Bilstein HD's:
H&R SS Springs with Bilstein HD shocks
Note: that thread has a lot of info about 6 people that have the SS springs.
Hopefully you can get some side shots, springs on ground, of a front and a rear spring.
BTW, what shocks are you going to used with these deep drop SS springs?

Well still waiting for NJ to go back in service. They got hit big by Sandy.
Anyways here some photos of my car I finished installing H & R SS and CV3 (I used the OEM Rubber) I like the drop better and dont want to go any lower. Still need for spring to settle down, I expect for the drop to lower a little bit more.

My next MOD arrived today. Am still looking for good after market muffler, something not loud. I would like to keep the tone low as possible. Ill be using OEM AMG Dual Tip like the one on ebay.
Diffuser
Tips:

Can an exhaust shop make x-pipe?
What sort of difference does it make to the sound/power? Are there any sound clips? I have my cf c63 diffuser and amg quad tips coming in. I was thinking when I go get them installed, maybe I'll ask the shop to do some x-pipe's as well? Or do I have to purchase something separate for that?
Car's looking good Pinoy!

I dont have a V6. My car is I4 turbo single pipe all the to the end. So my option is to customize a Y pipe to split at the end. On the othe hand V6 u can either do H or X. i would pick H. Anyways, as far as sound i dont have any idea until i get the mods done. Thanks!

Thank!
I was more directing the question towards Hotelcrazy since he recommended a x-pipe. So I figured he could perhaps either educate us or direct us somewhere we could educate ourselves.

Ill give it time to adjust. But u can see the front sits a little higher if u look closely. Besides that it looks good and run smooth like it was oem.

So no fender rolliong or shaving going to happen..but I found a way to aviod rubbing. Dont fill tank full.. lol
I installed my Diffuser today and it looks great! Install was easy, Although I did some minor customization to hold the c63 diffuser stronger since the OEM bracket came short. I still used the OEM bracket instead of spending extra 50 bucks for raplacement.
I got my muffler today! just waiting for my tips!!

Nice rims and setup....hey is that a 2012 model and did your car not come with the Dynamic suspension?
Also is there any other type of defuser other than the AMG type?
