Thinking about lowering my C43
Folks,
What is your setup (springs and pads)?
Are you satisfied (pros and cons)?
Is anyone using Eibach Pro-Kit Springs?
Thanks in advance for your great input!!

Running the Brabus spring with #4 pads all around. Has about 1 figergap space between outside of fender top of tire. I love em,and progressive rate spring really keeps a stock ride quality at low speed over bumps. But tight around hard corners. 200.00 bucks straight from Brabus. Silver43 will second me on this one-MOE

Search function is your best friend. hehe
All mb cars are different in height because of the spring pads used.
Even if we had the same spring pads and set up, height will still be different.
Watch out not to lower too much or you'll have rear camber problems. Rear camer is not adjustable unless with some kit of some sort.

Depends what kind of driving you do. Mine is very low with H&R sport springs, I don't know what kind of pads. I wore out my brand new rear tires in 10k miles because of all the negative camber. I like the lowered feel on the highway, but it's harsh in the city and I won't put 4 people in the car.

Higher the thicker.
I'm riding Eibach with Bilstein. Very close to the stock ride of the stock AMG suspension. Lucky I got a set of custom adjustable camber arms from speedybenz. Now maybe i'll take the plunge and get a set of 18's next year without worrying about tire wear.

a car that can't do the throttle reset.
i got the eibach prokit with 18inch brabus wheels... no gap at all. actually the top of the tire is tucked... i love it. definitely go for it and drop it... best mod for any car.
