Installed H&R springs, tad on the low side. Any higher springs available?
Just got around installing the H&R front springs on my X218. Where it looks really nice, but the front end is a tad on the low side for my liking. I would prefer it 1 centimeter or 0.5 inches higher. Is there any possibilities for this other than trying other springs. I know on some Mercs you could buy some rubber rings that go under the springs to adjust the height. On Ebay I just found Vogtland springs but is anyone running them? I also Googled that Eibach also makes springs. Are there any others available?
Those running the Vogtland or Eibachs, do you have measurement or the distance between the center of the wheel to the fender?

Thanks. Yeah its not rubbing. But as my previous car was an Airmatic I got used to the ride quality in it eve though it was lowered. The springs stiffen up the ride a tad as well..

It looks just a tiny bit low in the front. According to H&R specs, it's supposed to drop only 3/4 of an inches. It looks like it's been dropped well more than 1'' on yours. How come?

I have ordered some Eibach Pro-kit springs. I dont like the ride on the H&R's and it's a tad too low in the front. I would be happy if it would be around 1cm / 0.4" inches higher.

Couldn't agree more. The first thing I noticed when test drove the CLS was the stiffest of the spring suspension compare to airmatic one.
