New C63 Owner in Toronto (Spring Question)

Hello,

Proud new owner of a 2012 C63 Sedan in Toronto, came from an E90 M3 - love the C63

Sorry no pics yet, in the process of moving and my camera is packed away.

Looking to get a slight drop with aftermarket springs, any suggestions - H&R or any other brand? Any issues running with the stock struts? and finally any suggestions on someone to install in the GTA that actually knows these cars?

Agreed, working on that - not sure if I should do clear or have it painted to match the car.

^^ that would be a great idea.. Hit me up if it ever happens! I need to put more mileage on my car. Lol

Seriously, I used to drive to Toronto all the time to meet up with the Lexus crew. Great car enthusiast in TO.

As for ur spring question, H&R drop is very subtle.. I love mine cuz they ride almost like stock. If u want to go lower, u should buy coilovers if they are available for the new 2012 model.

I will probably go with H&R springs as I don't want to be crazy low, just a slight drop and even out the rear and front by using a taller spring spacer I guess it's called, same thing you did I believe with the #4 in the rear. Are you running the H&R sport springs on your ride?

Good idea on the taller spring pads, I don't regret doing this as the drop looks so much more even.. Plus the pads were surprisingly cheap at the stealer (20$ for the pair).

I'm not sure if mine are the sport springs as it does not say on the box.. But here is the part # 29028-1.

I got a great deal on the spring.. But the install was not cheap cuz I got my friend who
works at a Dodge/Chrysler dealership to do the install since our cars suspension is similar to the 300M. I don't regret paying a bit more though cuz the install went flawless, no squeak sounds & no pulling left or right even w/o alignment.

29028-1 is the only spring H&R makes for the C63 aside from the coil overs and they do call it a Sport Spring. I really like mine and think you will be happy with them.

Thanks for the info guys, will have to check if it works with the same springs on the 2012's - I am sure it should as they weigh about the same and the suspension setup should be the same.

They say they are for the C63 Sedan 2008 - up and for the C63 Coupe 2012 - up. LOL

I think Carlsson also has springs for our cars but 30mm drop vs 20mm drop for the H&R. I don't think I have ever heard anything about the Carlsson springs.
