lowering springs?

my c63 is coming at the end of the month, and i know i'd want to lower it immediately. so i'm just wondering what kinda springs are good for it. i was on h&r's website, but they didn't have the applications for the c63 yet. so i'm just curious if u guys know anything about lowering springs. thanks

I would recomend against springs only. The reason i say this is that putting a smaller spring on to lower the car puts more stress on the shocks, which were designed for a specific set of springs. Putting weaker springs on will reduce the longevity of your shocks, so you might as well get new shocks and springs now. Just my 2 cents

you will have to wait about 4 to 6 month before you see any springs available
