Nice car Tony!! Are ur multispoke the real AMG wheels are reps? They look more curved than my OEM multispokes!

Thay are reps, i did not want to get the originals coz we have lots of ditches here in the road. But before u installed i put them next to the original ones that my friend has on his c63, they are a EXACT COPY as the originals, no difference at all. The ones i have are class A. When you open thr wheel you can find the part number, made in Germany etc...

Bumping this old thread because it helped me with my decision on the H&R springs. Here are a couple of photos for anyone that's curious about what these look like with the stock 18's..

mikeyyyallday

anyone have a front lip with springs?

mikeyyyallday

will these dimensions rub with springs?? F:235/35/19 R:265/30/19

I have the same question on these tire sizes with H&R springs, except with OEM 507 wheels. And what about adding 10 mm spacers on top of all this?

Roswell

You should be fine with these size even lowered, taking into consideration your forgestar are 19x10 +50 or higher.

These size will fit fine on your 507 wheels, but will rub with 10mm spacers & lowered. Keep the 255/30 if you want to add 10mm spacers.

Great thanks Roswell!

So just to confirm:

My OEM 19" wheels came with contisport 5P tires (235/35/19 F 255/30/19 R).

I'm planning drop on H&R springs (NO 17mm pad) with 10mm spacers in the rear and 12mm spacers in the front.

Will this set up not rub? (I thought contisport might be a bit wider than your yoko, but not sure how to confirm this)

Could I go up to 15mm spacers in the front?

Addendum to the previous post: I did a bit of research and it looks like the OEM contis do have more tread width than the Yokos (rear only). I assume this means they are more "square", so still questioning if I can run 10mm spacers on OEM 19" rims (rear) lowered on H&R springs w/o spring pads.

Here are the numbers from tirerack, for 255/30/19, all measured on a 9" rim.

Continental ContiSportContact 5P

• Section Width: 10.2"
• Tread Width: 9.5"

Yokohama ADVAN Sport V105

• Section Width 10.2"
• Tread Width 8.9"

Michelin Pilot Super Sport

• Section Width: 10.2"
• Tread Width: 10"

Hankook Ventus V12 evo2

• Section Width: 10.2"
• Tread Width: 9"

Roswell is the king of fitment info.
I constantly see you give advice. Its great!

Resurrecting this very informative thread.
It seems like the general consensus is to switch the 13mm rear spring pad to the 17mm spring pad to make the rear drop even with the front. But what if we leave the rear spring and pad OEM, and just drop the front with H&R springs? Will this upset the balance tremendously?
Just wanted to throw it out there since my last C63 had KW V3, but I'm contemplating if H&R springs will suffice on the 507 street car.

First time I've seen these pics.... Beautiful!!!!!

Roswell

BigLarry, I'm not sure if I answered ur question through PM.

Well yes u will be ok with this set up with 12mm front. 15mm is also doable depending on the tire brand as u stated, but contis should clear.

Roswell

I don't recommend using front h&r spring w/rear stock spring. Different spring rate might upset the car handling like u said.

ld63

Thanks Roswell, I ended up going with PSS - 265/30/19 rear, 235/35/19 front on OEM 19" wheels. I left the wheel spacers in place and have had no rubbing so far. 10mm rear, 12mm front.

As for pics, here is one shortly after I installed H&R springs (they've settled a bit more since). Left the stock rear spring pads in place (13mm):



I ended up getting annoyed by the sagging rear, so installed 17mm rear spring pads a month or so later. IMO, definitely more balanced with the 17mm pads (though not super obvious in the pics). Pic:

Thrilla

You're right Roswell, not a good idea. We're just at the beginning of winter, and looking at these awesome stance pics, make me long for spring already.

Roswell

Hard to tell from this angle, u should take a pic face on to show the flushness.. I bet it looks sick in person! I'm glad u were able to fit 265/30 with 10mm spacers w/o rubbing. Report back after driving at high speed over dips, u might have a slight rub on the passenger rear.. But the 17mm will help minimize that slight rub. Good job!!

Roswell

Do it bro, u've been on KW's before.. Just a drop all around with springs is good enough if u don't track ur car.

ld63

Thanks man! Those pics are months old - still had the stock contis on there. I'll try to grab a pic or two with the new tires w/ spacers. Romped around a bit today and still seems to be holding up with the spacers on there. Cheers!

H&R Springs with 17mm pads

driftmotion

guess i'll throw mine in there .... only shot I've got that snows the ride height



Don't mind the alignment guy LOL

I was looking to get my car lowered on some H&R springs as well. I'll be riding the same stock wheels as yours. Was curious, what spring height did you go with for both front and back, and do you have any spacers or just lowering springs?

I was thinking of going 12mm in front and 10mm in the back. Is there anything else that I need (pads, ect.)? I want to keep it simple, just lower the car a little and try and get the front and even lowered semi-equally without spending too much.

Thanks!

Mort

H&R only offer springs in one height choice for the C63 and that is a drop of 20mm = .75" front and rear. To achieve a more level look some people replace the 13mm upper spring pad in the rear with a OEM 17mm pad from the dealer.

Your spacer choices sound good for stock wheels with stock tire sizes.

dvoAMG

Where is everyone buying their H&R lowering springs from and what is a good price? That's going to be my next mod.
