What size spring pads to achieve this stance...
Hey guys I'm lowering my ride next week with Brabus springs and shocks and just wondering what size pads to get for a drop identical to this
This is how my ride looks right now. The rear sits about 1 finger gap lower than the front

You won't achieve a drop like that with Brabus springs. Brabus has the most conservative drop on the market for our cars. I used to have Brabus springs with the smallest size pads #1 and I was not happy with it so I cut a half coil to achieve the look I wanted. You may want to try the #1 pads and see if you like it but if you don't and you are against cutting springs I would suggest going with no pads at all or use the #1 pad but grind out the seat it sits in but keep the ring so that your spring doesn't move around.

Thanks for the replies guys.
Hey CLKFAN did you get at least an inch drop front and back and do you have pics of your car with the brabus springs installed?
Also since the 430 is heavier will that make a difference at all with the brabus springs?
