Front Suspension
hi members , i want to ask your opinion. Yesterday while i was doing oil service at local Benz dealer i was walking around the lot and came on couple 09 C300 4matic Sports. One of the vehicles was exact as mine and i realized that front suspension was not dropped as much as mine. I will post my car front end and can you tell me if my Benz is lower then usual? Other Benz was about 1 to 1-1/4 inches taller then mine at the front tire and fender. I asked service adviser to look at mine and other car to compare what i seen. He said its possible that my springs are worn out , even i only have 52k miles i cant see that being a reason. If i decide to replace spring for H&R set, i dont want to ruin wheel alignment. I had many Cars and most of them i had on H&Rs or Eibach springs but this is not AMG or S4 or M3 type so i dont want to start something that down the road affects ride smoothness. But i have to admit i always thought front was little lower then i expected it. Would the H&R Sport set even out front and rear drop? Hope i was clear on this issue. Tx

I lived in NYC 17 years i understand well why you had that replaced at 22k miles. 22k miles in city is lot of hard hits on that suspension. I kind of have H&R sport set in mind for some time. I dont have issue with shocks or any other front end part , just the fact that sits low. Car is very smooth and has no vibrations or alignment pulling. next stop at Benz service i will take a closer look. tx
