C55 springs question
I have asked many times but no replies.
I wanna replace my C55 stock rims with 19" F8.5, R9.5 and want to reduce the clearance provided no rubbing issues.
I do not want to change the stock AMG shocks but only prefers to change to shorter springs.
Can anyone with actual user experience as what springs to use that will go well with the stock shocks.
I also do not want ride quality to have dramastic change.
Not sure if I can get some straight and clear answers this time.
Thanks in advance.

What springs you used to lower your c55?

Thanks for all who have replied. Based on replies, I will not have enough user experience information regarding replacing solely the springs (not the shocks) of C55. Thus, I will continue to stick to 18" rims stock suspensions until such information are available.
