PICS: Dropped on H&R SS and 19" AMG wheels
Hi everyone,
Just wanted to share my first mods on the car. Had brand new H&R Super Sport springs installed last week with the stock spring pads. Also installed 19" CLS AMG replica wheels.
Wheels specs:
19x8.5 +44 235/35/19
19x9.5 +44 255/35/19
I got 35 series tires for the rear for added protection and comfort. I was afraid the rears would rub badly, but they barely do. Only when I hit large dips does it rub, and it's very light. Planning on rolling the rears this weekend. Looking forward to the springs settling a little more.
Before:
After:
Enjoy!

The ride quality is definitely stiffer with the stiffer springs and lower profile tires, but it's not bouncy as some people have experienced. I'd say a 30-40% decrease in ride quality, but still feels like a Mercedes and more fun on the curves. Couldn't be happier!

To everyone, I want to get tint, but I really like the blue hue the untinted windows give off. Plus here in BC they're pretty strict on having front tint, and I don't want to tint just the rears. Maybe 50% all around in the near future if I'm feeling bold enough.

This is why I opted to use the stock spring pads (13 or 14mm?) and not the 5mm. I'm not a fan of the reversed raked look. I almost decided to buy the 17mm spring pads to avoid this, but the stocks seem to drop the car evenly all around.

I thought our cars had green tint?. If you like how it is don't get it. I only got tint to preserve my interior and so it's not so hot. But looks wise I like no tint.
So how's the ride with the SS?
