that's absurd lol. 500 miles will settle them all they would.

I've seen a cab that looked lower on these- think it weighs more but idk would have to go back and look

Have you tried emailing them and asking why this is so. I would be interested to hear their response.

I actually think thats a perfect ride height.

@Tmodelle, how is the drop and ride quality on the estate for the MSS springs? We're camber kits or anything else necessary?

are you running any spacers? BBS has proprietary spacers of 5mm and 10mm. Either would help the front look more appropriate.

I only see BBS=SR's available for the C43. They only have 18" listed. Yours look like 19s correct ?

I ordered factory AMG ones through my local MB dealership - as I wanted perfect fit. I previously ordered aftermarket ones from an EBay seller recommended by others on this board, but fit and finish was crap. If you want the factory part number (for a coupe) let me know.

Drive quality is good, stiffer then stock of course. But that was to be expected. I have zero rubbing issues. It is low so have to be cautious.

Some speed bumps and driveways are a pain, I use to be an air ride guy, so I know what to expect. Always considered air on this car but still debating.
