CLA45 Spacers? H&R Springs? Sizes? Pics?
Hi, I am looking to purchase spacers and H&R lowering springs for my car. I can't find any info or pics on this because our cars are so new. Especially here in the US. If you've already done this, please share some pics and spacer sizes.
Thank you!
Thank you!

Hi
Recently have installed H&R lower spring Part Number: 28657-2, a bit too lower for my taste, but that the only one available, unless you go for the KW coil over which is height adjustable but need to disable the automatic damper control which I don’t want.
Also I have try different width wheel spacer 20mm, 15mm, 12.5mm, 10mm, 8mm ,5mm.
Without lower spring it can run 20mm front and rear but is little bit too much, so without lower spring 15mm rear 12.5mm front is just right.
With lower spring I have try many combinations.
For the rear I have try 20mm will not work, 15mm is a bit tight, 12.5mm is just right without rubbing.
For the front I have try 20mm, 12.5mm both rub, brought a 8mm no centre hub lip can not install properly because it flush with the car centre hub lip, try a 5mm not thick enough, finally found a 10mm spacer with centre hub lip, but to install the 10mm spacer you need to remove the centre hub cap in order to install the 10mm spacer.
So with lower spring 10mm front 12.5mm rear.
