She's finally sittin nice and I'm loving it. I was surprised at how nice it actually rode compared to stock. Anyways here's a cell pic I snapped yesterday. I will get some better pics this week but here's the sneak peak. Front right sits the lowest so I'm gonna order a diff pad to level it out soon. I did however get my front fenders rolled because i was rubbing hard in the right front. Should still settle a bit over a couple weeks but def a lot better already....

I'm liking it! Stance is very nice. What did rolling the fronts cost you?

If you changed the springs, let them settle in before you start changing pads. FWIW.

Yep on H&R's, I've got a spring compressor out on rental but have already noticed some settling as its my daily driver. Should not be long before its set for good.Originally Posted by dlbehrns

What pads are in there right now?

Just springs?What pads are in there right now?
Thanks Will, front bumper is next just a matter of time, may paint the entire front end painted as well as its showing some age.
Nice drop, just perfect,!
I've read others say that one side can be lower at the front , I think its due to the tyre being nearer to the body work and so it becomes more noticable, like you said you can just add a higher or lower pad to even it out.

Thanks guys, ya the passenger front is without a doubt lower and I've already double checked to make sure that the spring and spring pads are seated correctly. Swapping a spring pad soon. I'm guessing its a weight distribution thing?

Just check one more thing though, have a look to see if the spring is the same way up as the other side. I know this sounds daft, but I put my rear spring upside down once and noticed that due it not sitting in the croove on the arm in the same way, it actually raised that side up a few mm..Originally Posted by Gundo

Yep, checked all that stuff. Everything is seated in its place correctly. It's not a huge deal but is slightly noticeable.
Just lowered mine on H&R springs and shocks as well, but kept the stock pads. Nice to see another Kansas member
Should totally bring yours out to Manhattan for the car meet and cruise on Sunday. Would be sweet to have two black lowered CLKs out.
Also where did you go to get the fenders rolled?

GUNDO, I thought i read a while ago that you were doing some testing out shock differences, how did it go with the different shock setup? My 2000 is all stock but needs a refurb on ride. Just wanna stay with a smoother ride, what do you suggest Blistein, Kyb, Koni, your input would be great, along with anyone else's. And no I haven't dropped it, all stock, rims, and all.

It's Kansas City's attempt to do a TX2k13 event.
kcsr.org is a big Kansas car enthusiast forum. Keeps me pretty informed on what's going on in the area.
