I know that a few years ago they collaborated with MSS who build amazing height adjustable spring kits, mostly for VAG (VW/Audi).

Had a conversation with them recently about kits for the C43. They said testing will begin at the end on 17.

That's where I plan to
spend my money.

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.

😉
Looks good, how much did EAS charge for the install?

I know quite a few who had these issues. But I think a different batch does not have it. Me for example, my front is really really low for some reason, so I have no reverse rake. May be I am just fat haha.

Picked up my C43 earlier this week.. ive had H&R SS on previous cars but looking at the rake made me pull the trigger on the H&R VTF.. crazy money for springs but I dont want to waste time and money installing the SS's when I know I wont be happy with them and probably move to the VTF anyways.

A quick question on the lowering springs for someone who is new to the Mercedes world (but not new to car mods ). Just picked up a C450 AMG And was looking into doing these springs.
Is there any modification needed by the shop doing install for the electronic dampers? I’ve read through a few posts here and there , including this one and I haven’t seen anyone menrion it. A friend of mine mentioned needing some adjustment with his C63 AMG. Excuse the ignorance ladies and gents if I missed it. Appreciate any information on it. Thanks.

Installation planned for this week. I’ll post some pics afterwards and initial impressions. Waiting on someone to give some feedback on the dampers though. Anyone?

Fresh from the shop pics
-literally straight from the shop....very dirty
-No reverse rake
-ride quality is almost exactly the same
-not at all as “hoppy” as I thought it may be

Nope. Not sure I’m going to have to. I am going to get it aligned though.
