Hey guys,

I'm currently getting an EIBACH PRO-KIT installed on my 2016 C300 SPORT.
Its advertised as a 1.4" drop all around but on the base model which sits 0.6" higher than the Sport model equipped with AMG suspension.

I'll be posting before and after images.

Jesbran Silva

Dropped the vehicle 1.2" all around

Whom did the install?
How was the installed?
What's was the cost of the install?
Thanks

Jesbran Silva

@koz Done at the Eibach facility in Corona CA.

I work at Eibach so there was no fee since we were testing the kit on the sport model.
Install took one hour and went very smooth, actually rides smoother than stock AMG springs IMO.

If you guys want special kit pricing just PM i'll do a forum discount price for you guys.

Looks awesome! Will this spring kit work on 4Matic W205s as well?

How's the handling in the curves at speed?

Are there spring kits for other W205's in the works...like for the C400/C450/C43?

Did the realignment procedure go well after the spring install...as in any surprises? Would the addition of a toe link kit have made things easier?

I'll be curious to see how long your stock struts/shocks last with this drop.

Jesbran Silva

Thanks!

-Here in the US We have not tested the kit on any 4matic as of yet.

-IMO It handles much better on turns, the sport model already comes with minimal roll due to its thick front diameter sway bar. Lowering the stance just added that extra bit of confidence while turning.

-We already have a kit for the C400 available in Germany and will hit the US market soon

-I'm not techy when it comes to alignments, but zero issues. ( see results attached )

I'm having one of our QA guys test the rate on the stock AMG springs and will post results compared to the Eibach kit

Perfect drop!

Nice! Now we are Eibach buddies�� I also spaced out the wheels with 10mm front and 15mm rear����

Jesbran Silva

Yes sir! I was going to get spacers but placed an order for wheels that will defeat the purpose since they come wider.

Jones88

Aw man, probably going to be jealous Any pictures of your new set?

Jesbran Silva

Those FF04's are going to look superb Jesbran. I can't wait to see them on the car.

For those interested in these FF04's, I have special MB World Member pricing awaiting you. Shoot me over a quick PM for details.

Does the springs fit 2017 C300?
Would u be willing to install?
Thanks

No shocks? I had to get the Bilstein b8 s soon after my eibach install. Oem shocks didn't handle the drop so well. Now my 205 coupe is crisp and doesn't bottom out, especially at the front. Pretty rigid though if that's how you like it.

Jesbran Silva

Yes, We do Installs at Eibach PM me for pricing as it varies

Jesbran Silva

So far so good, no bottoming out or signs of shocks not handling the drop well.
But that was concern of mine, so I will definitely keep an eye out for any signs of giving up.


B8's were a great a choice btw...

koz

Any extra noise on the new Eibach install?

Do I need spacers?

Jesbran Silva

I've had an issue free drop, zero noises.

Jesbran Silva

Its all preference, no need for wheel spacers unless you plan on upgrading you brakes for larger ones that might not fit with your OEM wheels
