I just bought the car not more than a couple of months ago. The car had most of everything on it already so Im still learning about it. I dont know what size spring pads Im running. They were already installed on the car and I havent got a chance take a look at it yet. The car does look lower in the back now that I look at it. I have no subs. Wonder why? Gonna have to check into that. I'll let you know. I do ride without any problems at all. It rides real smooth. It amazes me how good it drives with being so low.

So I bought my Mb a little over a month ago and was thinking it was lowered before I bought it. I'm not sure what the stock height is. I know that I have to be carefull on alot of driveways and other hills. Either way I want to lower it more. what do you all think?

looks like it may already have springs/shocks. Other than that, use small spring pads...lots of topics about that already
