URGENT My car doesn't go after H&R springs install
Hey guys
My car was just at the shop, lowered it with H&R springs and after I got the car back. The car feels like it doesn't go at all when I press on the pedal like a lost of power. The car was not taken out for a test drive so I am not worried about my mechanic taking it out and ripping it. For sure there is a lost in power or something but no lights or errors...
Do anyone have such experience?
Please help
Thanks guys

Sry to hear about this, but I'm sure it is not related to ur H&R drop.. Unless u hear rubbing while u drive?
U can always reset the computer by disconnecting the battery & see what happens. Or dealership it goes.

He didn't say "only drive a C300" so he wasn't mean at all. Unless..........he dropped off a C63 and came back with a C300. You know, some people do mix these two up.
Not sure why OP posted in the C63 section.

LOL o **** i got owned
anyway my bro has the c63 i got the c300
to say c300 has no power is definitely an understatement after my brother got the c63
Also I pulled the battery and replug it in and it seems fine now. thanks everybody.
Do you guys have alignment specs I can bring to my mechanic for the best handling or best specs to reduce tire wear?
I would need 2 camber bolts in the front but what about the back?
Thank you!

I'm glad your car is running normal again. I did see C300 in your sig from the start, but I didn't want to disrespect a little brother.. LOL !
As for alignment, your shop should have the factory specs... just not sure if they can bring it back to OEM specs though.

An alignment can only deal with toe adjustment on the rear. Dropping the car without adding a method to adjust the rear camber is going to cause premature tire wear and less straight line traction as your tires are just running on the inside edges and the torque from the dig causes them to move upward in the suspension causing even more negative camber. This is great for the track were more negative camber is a plus but really does works too well on the street most of your driving is in a relative straight line and it wears your tire very fast (like you need help wearing out rear C63 tires). Adjustable upper control arms work and I'm told there are also adjustable bushings available.
