2012 C63 Coupé Lowered

Hey guy... got around to having my H&R Sport Springs (Part# 29028-1) installed, it is a .75 drop front & rear according to H&R. Just took a quick pic hope you like

That looks fantastic - how does it ride versus stock?

It feels a bit more responsive and seems to have reduced body roll..... but that may be my mind playing tricks on me but def looks better!

Looks great! The springs will settle in more with more driving. Make sure you get an alignment later on down the line.

Looks great and I think handling is definitely improved on mine.

Looks good. I plan to do this down the road but at the moment I love tha carefree feelin and not hitting under my front bumper going in n out of structures. Plus I love the cars handling and ride so much for daily use I worry how much it will alter it. But definitely stance looks way better.

I have yet to scrape anything as it is not that low, I had H&R Sport Spring on my Audi A5 and it lowered it 1.5 inches all around and rarely had any problems scraping.... I do need to be more cautious now pulling into parking spots as to not hit those concrete parking log things ... but I have the park sensors so its not bad I daily drive my car as well and have no negative thoughts about the drop.

That's great to know its working out. here in Cali. a lot of the transitions from structures to roads are very deep and there are just times regardless how careful you are, you just can't get away with scrapping or worst damaging em. I've had so many cars lowered prior and I think I've come to a point of getting tired worrying and having to be careful. Just the other day, I parked and the front bumper looked like an 8th of an inch from scrapping *whew*. For sure if the car was dropped it would have hit. Maybe when the car is less newer I'll dig into it.

Anyways, those multi-spoke wheels look much better in the coupes. The 18's in the front looks just right. But the rears definitely need larger diameter wheels. I wonder if anyone is sporting that setup - 18s up front and 19's or even 20's in the rear.

2010 Sedan on 18" wheels. Should be the same I think but you never know with a different style of wheel.

I was thinking about doing this as well on my 2012 sedan. Anyone know what size spacers to get? 15mm/18mm?

A few people are using 15mm up front and 10mm in the back... probably going to do the same... need to do some measuring just in case.
