Ordered my h&r springs was gonna do it this week now having 2nd thoughts might just ship back.seems like alot of headache for .8 drop.

I corner hard so I am concerned if lowering the car adds value in terms of handling or is purely for cosmetic reasons
The suspension expert i normally uses claims he can get better results on c63s just with an alignment rather than lowering
appreciate all your comments

Just want to confirm the regular non-adjustable H&R springs work on the c63s as well as the c63 because tirerack only shows those springs fitting the non s models. Also any current input from members who have put some miles on your s with the non-adjustable springs would be appreaciated.

If you plan on getting the springs, go to mercedes and look up the part numbers with the guys at the service/parts for the shim pads. It differs from car to car depending on your current suspension (performance, standard, etc.) My new right rear shim pads raises the car a few mm's, which was enough to even out the 1/2" to 3/4" difference I had. They are like $15-30 dollars and comes from California if ordered to mercedes. Also, Camber on the car was 0, so wear should be ideal/normal as with no hnr springs

Yes have had the H&r,s in my c63s Coupe for a little over a month now and love them rides roughly the same maybe a tad stiffer and Sport Plus. front is a bit lower then rear haven't done alignment yet but doesn't pull at all I'm putting the car away probably pretty soon for winter so I'll wind up getting the alignment next year.

Thanks for the input fellas, ordering them today! FYI as stated before, Tire rack has the non-adjustable H&R springs pn# 28766-1 for $299 which is the best price I found.

Oh and I would also recommend 15 millimeter spacers if you're not going to get new Wheels looks way better. That's what I did all the way around. I ordered mine from supreme power fit perfect no issues for all four I think it was $250.

Thanks for the heads up. I will be ordering new 20” wheels as soon as I can decide on a set and stop changing my mind lol

Exactly! When lowered on 20” wheels German cars have a way different look/feel to them and it really sets them apart. My 2011 s4 looked so good on 20” Hre’s, but lucky for me the split 5 spoke Amg wheels aren’t bad so I’m not in a crazy rush.

Same here putting car away for winter soon so most likely take my time looking and get them for spring next year.

H&R's
Love my H&R's for the price; nevertheless, I will be going to a Coilover next year. The reason is the rebound is too loose. It's not tight enough for me. Love the look, ride quality is a B. IMHO

Just thought I’d post my assessment on the H&R lowering springs here:
Just got got them installed and I am getting Suspension travel error messages with hard cornering.
Trying to work out a solution short of going back to stock or trying a different solution. See my updates in the thread below:

The rear looks perfect in my opinion. But the front sits a little too low in my opinion. Wish I could go about 5mm higher or so.
I am wondering if there is a thicker shim/ spring pad available that will level it out some in front.
Pics too:
