What's the best way to lower a 320 as low as possible w/o cutting springs
I currently have a 2001 CLK320 with CLK55 H&R Sports Springs cut half-coil, I like how low it is w/ the spring cut, but the ride is not very comfortable.
I'll be getting bodykits soon and the front bumper will be rediculously low and It'll be a pain to drive, if anybody knows, please tell me the correct/best way to lower my car w/o cutting the springs, for example, change spring pads. I thought about coilovers but they're a lot more expensive than the regular lowering springs, so I don't think I'll be getting that. Other than that, anybody can helpl me to lower my car AGAIN ? Thanks, I appreciate it . . .
The front tires do rub the fenders

Hey Bruce, try the H&R cup kit. It comes with springs and shortened shocks to lower the car ~2". Then you can change to the #1 pads F and R to lower another 10-15mm depending on the size of your stock pad. Give Mr. Vanos a call or visit www.evosport.com, he has a good price on those.

Hey Bruce, I'll go over it with you when we meet up today. Having the 55 springs actually made you higher than the you would be (without cutting half a coil). The 55 springs are made for a car that weighs a few hundred pounds more in the front.
