CLK 320 FRONT SPRING PADS

anyone know what size they are from factory and what i should replace them with to bring my front end down...have staggered 17" amg's and the front is way higher than the back...car always sat a bit higher in the front with the factory 16's but now its more noticable...the rest of the suspension is totally stock and original....thank you...

Just change it to #1 pads. I know Mercedes does not make #1 pads front for the Clk but you can get #1 pads from other model like the 2000 E-class model. That's what i changed out for my friend Clk 430 10 years ago.
