Lowering Springs

Hi Guys,

I just wanted to check if anyone has heard about sports springs for the C63s sedan yet?

I know H&R have ones for other w205 models, but can't seen to find anything for the AMG.

Thanks!

Why would you that? The regular car is super low, a set of springs will make it drive worse. I would get coilovers or bags.

Very true, but there is a decent gap of about 2.5cms from the tyres to the arches . I've thought about coil-overs but they will effect the damping.

I've heard good things about the H&R springs from friend with BMWs, just wanted to check if they feedback was mutual for AMGs.

H&R is legit so you don't have to worry about their quality. Many here run H&R springs and coils. If you're only looking for a minor adjustment, maybe look to thinner spring pads?

I did have a look at these, but I'm not sure if I want to change over to coil overs for such a small drop.

Coil overs provide much more than just a drop. I have a w204 c63 and have major pulling issues on H&R springs. I would not install them on another car. I would do coil-overs

MB has thinner spring pads you should be able to get from dealer.

Springs may not work on the C63 due to the EDC controls. Most coil over systems figure that into the equation so there is no error codes.

I see, I might opt for the coil-overs in time then. How about the thinner spring pads?

what's the point for having lowering springs, beside its close the gap.

I had never seen the spring pad option as being viable for lowering the car but having done some reading on it now it appears very popular among Merc owners and appears to retain the standard feel of the suspension.
I'd need to see if it'll require a geometry check after swapping out though.

If it is the same set up as the W204 C63 the spring pads are only available for the rear.

Is that a custom rolled spring or is it sourced from someone like SWIFT?
