Hey guys just got my pads from MB. Does anyone know how to tell if they sent me the right ones. Maybe a part number or some other way of telling they sent me #1's

identifying spring pads
you can identify the correct spring pad by counting the nipples on the spring pad...i.e. one nipple corresponds to a #1, 5 nipples corresponds to #5, etc.

00 clk 320 and 3 hondas. Darn I am down to 4 cars.
Hey. I have had Eibach lowering springs for my CLK in a box for weeks, but I am hesitant to install them because I don't want a harsh ride. How do you compare the Eibach springs to the stock ones when it comes to ride quality?
Thanks in advance.

definately cant rent a regular spring compress you will need the klann plate type mercedes only compressor. The regular one wouldnt fit between the control arm and stuff no room. Thres a procedure somewhere to do it with floor jack and just removing the control arm bolts. I put all my suspension in without having a compressor.

Next, does anyone have the MB factory OEM P/N for the 18x8 and 18x9 inch silver MonoblocII (SL wheel)? They are a five wide spoke OR 5 hole wheel; not a "turbine" look. They are the 88AMG210 sold on Tirerack.

Wallstreet, look at the pix above. I made the mistake on using spring from a coup on a cab. The results are the rear is lower witch turns out that i think it looks cool. The rear of a cab is heavier so that is why the coupe spring are lower. #1 spring pads are recomended in the front to give the vehicle a more even look. The pictures above, show a #3 in front and ill post the #1's installed when i get a chance. Good luck and i hope this helps.
