Eibach Proline Spring on c450/c43 sedan

Anyone successfully run eibach proline springs on their sedans? Based on the website they offer a .8 drop in the front and .6 drop in the rear. I know that's not as low as the h&r but could address the rear rake issue many folks get when using h&r. The h&r drop is 1.2 all around. Interested.in hearing thought.

Oddly I had never heard of these but it seems like it could be a decent cheaper alternative to going with coil overs. Did you end up going with these?

I haven't yet...was hoping to get feedback before pulling the trigger...i've always used h&r springs in my other vehicles with no issues but apparently on the w205 sedan chassis the rear rake is pretty noticeable. Not a fan of the rear rake look so just searching out all options

I ran Eibach's on my 6th and 8th gen Civic Si's as well as my A4 - still provided a reasonably comfortable ride and never had an issue. I definitely wouldn't count them out if I were in the market.

Anyone try the c43 coupe Eibach lowering springs on the c43 sedan? Looking for lowering springs for the w205 sedan but not a fan of the rear rake on the H and R springs

I'm running the eibach springs from Amazon, I actually really like them, didn't notice an increase in stiffness or loss of comfort. Obviously they don't handle too great but you'd have to drop $1500+ on a proper coilover setup, but it would take a lot more than coilovers to make this car handle properly IMO. For $180 they're great at dropping the car to the perfect stance but they are not good for anything else.

Edit: sorry, I'm running the blue godspeed ones from amazon not the eibachs. Still applies.

I've heard H&R springs give reverse rake, Eibach drops the least but no reverse rake, and Vogtland which gives the most drop and gives positive rake.
