Hey teck,
Just wondering what # spring pads you are using with your brabus springs. I have them aswell with #4 all round. Just curious, yours looks a little lower them mine, thanks and your rims look alot better than my 18 monos II do. Jealouse.-MOE

Teck --
Your latest pictures came up on my screen. What a beautiful car!! I absolutely love your rims -- IMHO they are the best looking rims for the C43 (they are AMG as well).
The drop produced by your Brabus springs looks about the same as my H&R 1.5 inch (38 mm) drop. Handling should improve alot and body roll will be almost eliminated. One thing to watch for however, if you kept the OE AMG/Bilstein shocks on the car you will want to replace them with Bilstein Sport shocks or another shock valved for shorter travel. The OE shocks on my set up only felt good for about one month before I had to change them. The Bilstein Sports give a much better ride (firmer & more comfortable) than stock.
Great work!
(PS -- I have to post new pic's of my car; the previous pic's are pre-drop. As soon as I wash the car and the sun comes out I'll post new pic's).

Do you still have 17in rims. I think if I put #2 in front it would rub bad. I actually am happy with front height right now. About 1/2 finger gap. But my rear end has almost 2 finger. I like raked look but could be tad lower. Maybe I just need to put spare tire back in trunk

I've #1 spring pads al around for the moment. But as you can see the car is (for my eyes) lower in the back so there's one more things to do, I have to cut the front spring or I install #2 or #3 spring pads in the rear.
By the way thank you for your compliment, I love my car
