Spring Pads

as of right now i have a 97 c280 sport w/ 18' amg monoblocks and an eibach 1.25 spring drop, with stock shocks which i am soon to remove and put bilsteins. i was wondering what number spring pad i should put if i want 2 fingers to fit inbetween the tire and wheel well front and back.

if you have a similar set-up please tell me what number springs pads you use, if it looks nice maybe ill copy it.

hey 99slvr, you said that you lowered your car with Brabus springs and #3 and #5 pads?

how is the ride, is it stiff / soft? i just hope its stiffer than the stocks... and where can i get the Brabus springs? i went to Brabus.com and didn't see any reference to springs. thnxs.
