That's gonna be dependent on how low you want to go and how aggressive of a wheel setup you will want to go with? Wheel size, tire size, wheel width, offset....

Im wondering the same thing. Want the car a little lower but only slightly. Also dont want harsher ride.
Have 19" multispokes.
Im guessing its either H&R or Eibach. Any experiences?

Why do you prefer Eibach...H&R is a good company too.

Because it lowers the car more then H&R.

I don't understand that statement because Eibach doesn't make springs for the c63.

I remember back when the 63 was first released. Guys were running regular C300 drop springs on the 63. I gotta look, but I had a pic of a white C63 with HREs dropped on C300/350 lowering springs. So "Maybe" the Eibachs will work.

Oh ok....I mean I ran 350Z Tein springs on my G35 coupe to get a lower drop and the ride was comfy so maybe they will work.

What i meant was the H&R for the c63 lowers the car 0.75 and the eibach for the C class lowers 1.2, so i think it should be the same for the c63.

That's comparing apples and oranges. If you compare the Eibachs for the 300/350, they don't lower as much as the H&Rs. So if Eibach did make a spring it probably wouldn't lower .75 inches. Also the 1.2 stated for the Eibach isn't for the sport model. Therefore the 300/350 aren't even lowered .75 inches inactuality. The 1.2 is based off of the luxury model.

Either way. I think coilovers are the best bet. The springs wont match the OEM shocks, and will prematurely fail. Plus you can drop much more with the coil-overs. A little more money, but will pay off, if you plan to keep your car for awhile.

Sport Springs are developed for OEM shocks.

The problem is the coilovers cost 10times the springs.I am not going to track the car, i just want to lower it so it look better.

I wouldn't put an eibach kit on a C63...I have used them on other cars and the ride becomes too harsh...I would go for the H&Rs, those are a superior product. just my .02 cents..

Just get H&R coilovers then. I think they're only about 500 more.
