I had the dealer install Eibachs with original spring pads, looks awesom. Just the right height both front and rear.

I have the AMG SL 2pc wheels and even with them, it doesn't rub...

It handles so much better as well.

Thank you all for the information leading to this.. You guys have been great help...


I will post pictures soon...

It was a little more at the dealer, but they will warranty the install and ...more

and keep things simple when time comes for any warranty issues. They can't tell me it was install imporperly, or because of this and that, since they installed it and aligned it.

It cost $660 for the labor to install and alignment.

They had re-program the Sensor for the roll-bar in the rear, which was causing problems after lowering. which the other Mod shop would not know.

Overall, it was worth it... Perfect set up for me..

How was your roll bar causing problems in the rear? I switched both my front and rear sway bars myself, and not only have I not run into any problems with it, but there weren't any sensors attached to it.

I think he's referring to the roll bar for when the top is down. He has a cab.

Here are the pictures.... and yes roll bar on the Cabriolet behind the rear seats...

What do you all think...? I think this is the perfect height for me...
It drives soooo much better as well.. I don't feel that front end lifting up on take off or a dip in the braking like I used to in the stock springs...



Seems to handle much better too in cornering and stuff...










:p :p :p

RezaH,

Your car looks nice.

Lee, Do you recommend Eibachs or H&R's. I do not want a harsh ride.

Eibachs are definitely better for a comfortable ride...I have them on my CLK.

jesej, both yours and rezah's cars are very nice. That diamond edition is a good looking wheel.
