Thanks to all who have posted, the Koni's are on and it rides great. I think it's a sick setup for anyone who is not wanting coilovers. HR springs and Koni adjustables. Couldn't be happier. Cheers to all of you for the compliments on the car.

Looks good. Based on your response of questioning "too low", you should leave it. It's a conservative drop. One can tell it's lowered, but not slammed.

not low enough IMHO...i was 3/4 of an inch from tucking RIM lol. OPAL208 is right..."if u aint rubbing ur not low". its a SoCal mentality so it doesnt apply to all....

Thanks bro, I'm pretty happy with the look and the ride right now. If it wasn't my daily driver maybe I'd go lower but I'm good for now. Thanks for all the feedback guys, you're all awesome.

I have stock 17" from the AMG package now. I wish to put 19" and lower the car. Seems like the only way to bypass the front looking higher before or after lowering is to ge coilover? I been told rides on coilover are very stiff. Any advice?

how much did you guys pay for your h&r springs and how much and whom did you go to get it install. i got 19' on mine and would like to drop it, but money is a lil tight rite now so i was wondering if i could afford it or not. lol. i would love to know the estimation.

The springs were about $269 I think, had my mechanic do the job it was $400 I think. I also had him install Koni adjustables as well. I think the Koni's where about $180 each.
