H&R Springs Before & After Pic's

Lots of conversation lately about aftermarket springs so I decided to share some before and after pic's. They have been on a couple of months and I am very happy. Track perspective will have to wait till early May but the ride is noticably different than stock non PP. The drop is about an inch and looks VERY good in person. The car feels better planted in aggressive cornering and other than being a kidney buster on cobblestone streets, it is very smooth. Tires are 265/35 and 245/40 no rubbing during street use at all.

STOCK:





H&R:

Wow hands down the best red C63 I've ever seen!

Can you elaborate on "the ride is noticably different than stock non PP"? How does it compare to stock-non-PP?

Also, how did you tint your side mirrors?

Sorry for all the questions Thanks!

My car is the same Mars red. I like your car a lot with the drop. I would like to know if you painted the C63 amg or did you buy them like that?

Very nice drop! It's crazy how the same wheels look bigger when a car is dropped.

CONGRATS!
