Want to lower 507 sedan
Interested in lowering my 507 sedan.
Considering H@R springs but realize they are progressive rate which I am generally not a fan of. Are the OEM springs progressive rate?
Also looks like the car needs spacers. If I go with 10MM all around I figure I would need hubcentric spacers which I do not believe come in 10MM (not big enough for hubcentric lip??)
Did a search, but did not come up with a definitive answer. I did see many folks complaining about pulling to the right after spring drop. Perhaps someone has figured this out??
Thanks for your time.

I won't be much help other than to confirm 10mm spacers DO have hubcentric rings. They're the thinnest diameter to come with them.
Good luck in the rest of your research.

Are yours stock H@R spacers, or custom made?

On my sedan I am running H&R springs, spacers 15mm up front and 12mm on the rear. No rub and I think it looks perfect. Did have 12 up front too but wanted a little bit better stance.
I did have pulling to the right after install. Took it to MB and they used the 'crash bolts' to get in in spec.

you'll normally need coilovers before you'd be able to find an off the shelf linear springs.
even KW coilovers are mostly progressive until you get into ClubSports

Why would you put 15mm spacers up front and 12 in the rear instead of 12mmF, 12mmR? Reason being that the front track in stock form is already wider than the rear. It might look like an Isetta

If you stand in front of the car and look straight down the side the front axle is already wider than the rear in stock form. Adding another 3mm in front to that does not make sense, unless there is some benefit. I believe it was originally done by Mercedes to better the handling.
Did you also need to use the "crash bolts" to stop pulling to the right?

It does look great, just don't understand why one would want to increase the front track another 3mm from OEM over the rear.
