i have thought about dropping my car but i just don't want to deal with the rubbing and all the other problems with the drop. so for the most part i dont think i'm going to be dropping my car. but i might just bring the front down just a little bit

How can you bring the front down without lowering it?

i think i just change the front springs to a smaller one, the it will bring the front down a little bit. and thats all i need.
the problem is that i drive the hell out of my car, and i speed a lot so i know if i lower the car i would bottom out all the time and get wheel rub that is going to drive me crazy. so i really dont want to go to the coil-overs to drop my car, but to get better performance i'm going to change my sway bars to bigger ones that will give me better cornering.

It sounds like a set of Renntech springs would suit you perfectly. They go well with AMG shocks, so you should be able to swap out the springs and roll. The drop is nice and even front and rear, but not slammed to where you'll need to worry about bottoming out or rubbing. With your wheel setup, you definitely don't have to worry about rubbing.

ya i was looking into those and most likely will end up getting them, i was thing of going with a wider tires in the front and back, i'm thinking of going to 235/40 R18 in the front and 265/35 R18 in the rear. i don't want to move to 19" because i will lose power, but i think my next mod is going to be new AMG brakes 6 piston front and 4 piston rear. and then go to the shocks and then the wheels. so this car is still a work in progress.
