Who has them and how do you like them? Also, if you have them what do you have for wheels? I have 20's on my car and I am considering getting these lowering springs. Is there anything I need to check or consider first?

Thanks!

I have those springs on AMG 18s on my C450. They drop a bit more than advertised after settling.
Depending on your tire width on the 20s, you probably want spacers since the wheels will look too tucked in.

I am running ECS Tuning spacers 15mm rear and 8mm front. (I had 10mm in the front but as many pointed out there was a tiny bit misalignment on the hub)

Anyways, hope that helps.

Pics?

Not the exact same angle but that's the before an after.. (it's pretty obvious which one is which)

PrestonXavier

looks good man..share more pics when you can...

Also, might want to add that I have not had any problems scraping or rubbing anywhere. You don't even need to do the whole sideway maneuver on most driveways.. on 18s it clears your typical concrete wheelstops by a hair

I would make sure to see as many pics as possible.

i put some on my Porsche and it dropped front and back over an inch - they did not improve handling (handling was already very very good) so it made my low car super dang low. aesthetics was great.

Much change in ride comfort?

rjpeaks

not sure if you were asking me - the ride comfort was affected on my porsche. i already had to come up my driveway at an angle in my 981.

i got towed once - good thing the flatbed had a hinge - my splitter would have been split.

I was just asking openly. On my last builds I used coilovers. Now that I don't plan to deviate too far from stock, I would still like to have it sitting a little prettier, without much sacrificed.

c/o's are always a better way to go in my opinion....

That being said - i am not going to touch this one, this time....

c_sotelo5

Rides about the same.. probably a little bit more feel over bumps/pavement markers since the springs a bit more stiff

How much was your install? Anyone get these installed in Toronto?

JGreen76

Rule of thumb in the states is about $100/corner.

c_sotelo5

I paid $250 for install down in Glendale, CA... and another $250 for the springs themselves

i used to live in Glendale

H&R is nice but i wish it didnt have that reverse rake. rear sits lower than front

c_sotelo5

I think the rear looks lower without spacers cause it's more tucked in.. when you throw spacers the difference in looks is minimal 👌�

The rake is only an issue with the Sedan. The coupe sits fine and as mentioned spacers or new wheels are a neccessity.

Can the OEM shocks handle the lowering springs?


I know in my BMW, adding just springs caused the car to oscillate (due to reduced travel on the shocks). The ride height was good and car felt more planted. I changed to coils within 3 months and was much more controlled.




Aside from the increased wear and tear being put on the OEM C43 shocks, due to springs, is anyone experiencing bumpy rides when they hit dips on the road?

I have read of bouncy ride from a user. I forget who.

It's just the nature of lowering springs.

c_sotelo5

I have not had any oscillation at all.

It is more sensitive to ****ed up roads but that's normal. The ride is only slightly stiffer compared to stock since the OEM setup is actually already pretty stiff as it is, so I consider the difference negligible.

PrestonXavier

I feel like we are all guinea pigs with each of these mods but does anybody have a sedan lowered on these with spacers? The front does look weird with it being higher then the back

DVision44

The ride is not bouncy at all...not sure who spread that misinformation...

That's a fairly subjective thing to state as fact. I'm just relaying info.

DVision44

Not subjective at all...if anything it's stiffer. And if my comment is supposedly subjective then so would the claim that it was bouncy...correct? I also did not say you made the initial comment..
