You realize that 2019 is just a facelift and nothing is mechanically different where any of the previous MY fitment would be different? There are a decent number of people lowered with aftermarket wheels with MY 17/18 to look for

There is no change to the car but I understand you want to see rims with the new front and rear of the 2019 model. I have not seen many 2019 models yet.

lowered on springs

Many of my friends told me to stay away from coilovers (800$) and to go with just springs H&Rs (250$), so here it is 1.2 inches drop

Looks good man.. it'll still come down a bit when the springs settle..

What spacers are you running with? The rear looks like it could come out a bit... may just be the photo

No pun intended but I'd be shocked if that was the case....a simple spring swap is going to firm up the ride.

I put a set of Vogtlands on a W205 that I owned a few years ago and the ride was punishing, it bounced terribly over bumps but maybe the Vogtlands are trash compared to H&R???

I want to lower my car a little bit and it looks like the H&R springs offer pretty much the exact height I'm looking for but I'm afraid going the cheap route once again will net me the same results.

How is the camber I have wanted to lower my car but I have read some cars sag in the rear and our cars run so much negative camber stock that lowering it makes it much worse.

Thought about getting camber kit but car is leased and just makes it more of a hassle to return to stock

Your car looks great!! I want to lower mine. What is the H&R part number I was told the 28811-2 does not fit our car but the H&R site says the part number 28811-2 is the correct fit. Can you please confirm? Thanks in advance!!

Thanks and I have one other question for you.
What are the H&R spacer part numbers you used. I have the same wheels etc.. and think they are perfect. Want to ensure they are the correct part numbers for the spacers as well. Thanks again for all the assistance.

I managed to get my car back from having it lowered and spacers. I think I have almost completed my 2019 build.

I did not require spacers but wanted to wheels to be pushed more to the edge so they do not looked overly tucked into the wheel well when the car is lowered. Gives the car a more aggressive look with the OEM wheels.
