The rear does sit lower to begin with & will as well after. Some people have installed the thicker 17mm rear spring pads vs the stock 13mm to give it a more even looking drop

Can u post pics to show us? Crazy1eye is correct, the rear sits lower that's why I used the thicker pads in the rear to raise it a bit.. But it shouldn't be that much lower though.

I'm running the 17mm pads as well, and because of that my drop looks even. Otherwise the rear wheel gap will be noticeably smaller than the front gap.

It's the same for both sides and should not be more than $10 per pad.

the gap is relative though the car doesn't sag. the rear is not physically lower than the front just the rear tires are tucked a little more in the wells then the fronts. yes there is slightly more room in the front wheel wells but the car still sits with a slight rake. or sat (past tense car is gone)

For all you guys that dropped on HR springs, did the increase in rear camber case accelerated inner tire wear?

Guys I don't know about the other drivers but my P30 suspension is harsh and stiff ( very very stiff ) as soon as I swapped to H&R coil overs the cars ride is so much more pleasant ( not too soft ) but just enough where the ride is tolerable for everyday driving.

I second this. The ride is much better in the city now.

Those P30 shocks will knock the fillings loose in your teeth. I hope the P 31 didn't come like that.

09 C63 AMG LOWERED ON H&R SPRINGS HAS PROBLEMS

HI hope someone can help me
since i lowered my c63 on h&r springs the wear of the inside of my tires is crazy, and it kinda pulls to the right a bit.
i never had this problem since i lowered it.
ive taken my car to manny shops, and they all tell me my car is not allignable, and to take the springs out and put it back up to normal.

they say there is no camber kit for it, on that year and that there isnt enough adjustment to it..

i hope someone can help me with this problem

It's normal. My car pulls to the right since it's lowered on H&R springs.
But you still can get it aligned according to MB spec. Mine is but even with that it still pulls to the right.
All you need is to install front camber bolt (part number 000 333 10 71). Haven't find the time to do it. Otherwise you have K-mac selling camber kit for our car.
