Yes, the topic is subjective.

Results vary from application to application.

I have seen good results (not great) all the way to TERRIBLE reverse rake.















My friend spotted this in Canada - so never before seen here:

Are you guys really getting this heated over the claimed "bounciness" of springs?

Guys....

You always do this.

Pop your head into a thread, instigate, add nothing to the conversation and pretend to be a hero.

Just stop. The conversation was over.

I "always" do this? When and where?

"Pretend to be a hero"?

Really, A "Hero"? Explain this to me, please

Thanks! I think you have a good example.

But question why every car seems to sit differently. Sunroof adds weight, but that should be displaced fairly evenly. Then I go to bumpstops - do they instruct to cut/trim them?

The pictures of these cars on aftermarket wheels is not indicative to what they will look like because the rolling diameter is usually a bit different from stock.

I don't even know to be honest.

I do know that those with out spacers look terrible cause I had mine like that for a couple weeks and couldn't stand it. Haha Most cars with aftermarket wheels (pics showed here) I would think have a wider wheel at the rear or maybe spacers also? Cause they seem a bit more "even"

But yeah I'll confirm that the ride is not bouncy at all, however, more stiff, But that's the point.

OK....so my car is a whopping 8 weeks old (C43). Had it for 6 weeks and then put the H&R springs on. Stance is nice, although as some on another thread had stated, it looks like it is a bit lower in the rear (purely an aesthetic thing due to wheel well gap).

The ride is solid, although i didn't have much to complain about prior. I think you do feel each bump a bit more due to the stiffness. I really couldn't see going up to a 20" wheel with this drop though, so it does limit you in that regard.

Overall, a decent bang for buck. For anyone in SoCal, may i recommend EAS to install it. Did a good job, didn't take too long, and were very thorough in their test drive post install.

I have the H&R springs, just need to get them fitted, along with some 20" wheels.
For those that had them installed, have you noticed any more tyre wear due to the lack of the wheel alignment adjustment?

Hi there,
What was the size on your spacers? And after the installation of the springs did you have issues with the parking sensors? Many thanks!

There's a thread on spacers if I'm not mistaking. I posted my car with spacers and springs earlier in this thread as well

Does anyone know if lowering revokes any warranties? Specifically MB's tire and wheel protection program?

C43
I just got word from William at MSS that they will be releasing an adjustable spring for the C43.

I used this company's kit on a TT I had. Was so impressed with the quality of how it felt between the different magride settings.

l'll be holding off for this kit. They work in collaboration with eibach.

Anyone experience issues with camber settings or tire wear after spring install?

It was brought up in another thread that when you lower the car, the camber is affected and causes excessive inner tire wear. Is this true? Also, is there no camber adjustability on stock components?

These are pix of my vehicle. As you see, once I had the spacers and 20"'s installed, the stance improved tremendously in my humble opinion.
