Just got H&R Static Springs for the 17 C63 coupe, however I'm seeing mixed reviews on the forum and considering returning if it's really as unpractical (when it comes to tire wear) as people make it out to be. I've looked through all the threads on this topic using the site:mbworld.org google search tag. Most of the threads are relatively dated, most of the positive inputs are done within a short time of install, and most of the negative inputs are done by people who haven't lowered or are going off word of mouth. So would love to hear your long-term review if you're lowered! Even if you have Eibach's or other lowering suspension setups would love to hear your thoughts.
1. How long have you been lowered and thoughts?
2. How's the tire wear, is it really as bad as people claim to be?
3. Drop a photo and show your setup if you can!
I drive daily and very spirited every where I go. Wouldn't mind a 20% increase in tire wear, but definitely not switching out tires every 3k miles.
Edit: Also, not looking to get a camber kit nor bushings.
I had them on my C43 coupe but won’t be getting them on my C63, the c63 already feels a bit stiffer than the 43 which was the biggest thing I noticed from the springs on the 43. The drop in ride height was very nice but I honestly believe the c63 sits pretty low as is.
Honestly I love my HR so far. Going on a year or so? I just put new tires on the car, I had the original tires so they were due to be replaced. I’ll report back once I see how long these last.
Definitely more camber, maybe a little stiffer, however I always drove in sport plus before so I can’t say for sure it’s really that different.
the look is where it’s at. I would do it again for sure.
I have other pictures posted I’m another thread after it got done. I’ll have to find those. There are taken right after I put new tires on.
295/30 rear and 255/35 front. 15 mm spacer up front and 12 mm in the back. Although I think I’m going to go down to a 10 mm in the rear.
