Who's running H&R coilovers

Found them for the C32 AMG, wanted to make sure they'd be OK for C55's? Curious if anyone has them?

I'm pretty sure they will work, but I don't know if you will get too much lower. I thought the C55 springs had more of a drop than what the OEM C32 springs did. So I wonder if the H&R springs would give you a better drop than what you have already.

I have H&R C320 springs I'm waiting to put on my car, but my car looks like it's jacked up in the front. Any thing will help in lowering my car in the front. I like the drop in the rear on my car.

well I know the C55 is pretty significantly lower, but the H&R's go up to 2 inches lower than the C32 suspension. Any idea how much lower the C55 is than the C32?

I have heard C32 members upgrading to the C55 suspension because it was the perfect height. Not too low and not too high, but I don't remember where I saw that. I'm going to do a search and see what I come up with.

wow thanks man

From reading through those, well, pretty varying opinions, but in terms of handling it doesn't seem like I'll be going wrong with H&R's. I wish they made PSS's for our cars, as the PSS9's are just too expensive, and I don't need adjustable spring rates. Now I just need to see about the difference in ride height between the C55 and C32 to see if I can get enough of a drop with them to suffice. Thanks for all your help though man!
