C63 OEM

My work in progress... Just installed H&R springs and the original C63 wheels on my C-class. Tell me what you think!

I've thought about going to H&R Sport springs. I'm a little worried about the ride being too stiff with super sports. Any comments on that? Any updated pics? Thank you for your information, by the way.

The H&R Super Sports are too aggressive for oem shocks, and will do them in rather quickly. Consider special ordering Bilstein B8 shocks for that much drop. RWD I assume?

here is a sample of 6 owners with the springs, and only 1 was satisfied with the ride:

Also, to show that this is a good match, Bilstein offers the "B12 Sportline" kit that inludes the B8 shock for big drop suspensions, with the Eibach Sportline springs, similar to the H&R Super Sports:
