Lowering springs... which ones???
I am intending to lower my car first before I decide on any wheels... need help on lowering springs... Eibach, H&R, or vogtland?
in terms of height and comfort.. I am not intending to go too low to the point where I need to cut the springs the road down in columbus is BAD! and I still race on these roads! (where else!)

I need a big drop since I am keeping my 16's for a while. Who sells Vogtlands?

I think they make a better spring and the drop will be more to my liking.
Will your Brabus work on a W203?
No

I ordered my Vogtlands from PURE motorsport

The Koni Sport Kit should work. Koni doesn't list it for the C43, but they use the Vogtland springs that are listed for the C43. The downside is the shocks are not the externally adjustable ones.
Does anyone know if there is any coilovers for c43?
I don't think anyone makes adjustable perch kits for the W202

I'd say go for Brabus springs. They have years of experience with MBZ. I got Brabus springs with #1 pads and it's no problem at all. Sometimes it seems it bit to low but in this case you can install bigger pads.
