H&R Springs vs AMG Sport Springs
Hello All,
I am interested in lowering my C300, however I am concerned that if I was to purchase lowering springs, it would not lower that much compared to the Sport Suspension. Is this true? Anyone with a C300 Sport and lowering springs, I would like to see a picture of the car after lowering it. Thank you all for your time.

The spring manufacturers drop specs are from stock springs.
However i used Eibach pro kit and it still lowered the car about 2 - 2,5cm.
I also run spacers, 10mm front axle and 15 rear. Looks awesome!

No not necessary, just to get wheels closer to the fender as it looks so much better imo.
The squeeking can also accour with the original springs, its a TIPS message for that problem at your dealer. Some dealers might blame the lowering kit, and you may have to lube them up yourself. Its a yellow rubber bit inside the struts in the front that gets dry over time.

2008 Mercedes-Benz C300. My other ride is a 92 240sx vert.
I have an 08 c300 on H&R super sports, I think it looks good but I'm just about to buy some H&R sports because the supersports I have are too low. So low that I've gone through 3 tires on just the front passenger side. I make a lot of right turns and it got so bad that the fender is cracked now lol. but the ride is pretty smooth and handling is great. No squeaking at all btw. over a year old and about 15k miles on them.

I'm looking forward to buy Eibach Pro Kit springs and use OEM shocks. I'm afraid the OEM shocks will go bad after awhile, as the performance shop told me. How many miles or how long have you been driving with them, so far?

You'll be fine with the Eibach's "Tim B"
I know it's not apples to apples comparison but Eibach's are really well known for their "OEM" qualities. I came from the f80 m3 previously and they actually did a lot of the BMW ones direct. They don't go super low like the H&R but provide a comfortable ride. I see no reason why the oem shocks will go bad within the term of a lease (45k miles etc) for a moderate drop. Get it and post some pics! That wheel gap has gotta go lol
