Looks good! Good idea to wait to lower more with larger wheels. When I lowered my old 99 C230 I used Eibach w/#1 pads and I only rubbed in the front right.

Beautiful car Hustla.

Good choice on the spring pads. Those H&Rs are really low - especially in the rear.

Count me among the fans of your current wheels too.

Hey guys, what are the shims/pads you are talking about?
I am going to put on some springs also, but TireRack doesn't mention the shims...?

I think I'll go with the Eibach Pro-Kit this time.

i disagree, keep front the way it is, raise rear even higher. Remember the springs will settle so the car will drop another half inch so if anything I'd go max height on pads.
