lol looks exactly like my car except i have 18" brabus reps. im planning on using a 5mm or 7mm spacer in front to hellp me clear my caliper that im going to install later and depending on the drop, a 10-15mm spacer to have it sit flush with the rear

I just sent email out to Ksport to try to get some measurements for the shocks on the front.

sorry to bump an old thread. my car had 145km on it, which is about 80k miles. it's on stock springs/shocks. my front shocks seem to have worn out, the rears are still fine. i'm not looking to lower my car. what should i replace the front shocks with to match the stock ride as closely as possible?

I had my stock shocks with H&R springs for about one week then I decided right away to get the KONI yellow. The ride was okay with stock shocks, but it just gets kinda bouncy ride. We have Mercedes not the cheap HONDA or TOYOTA. So why go that short cut route ? If you want to lower the car then do it the right or leave it alone.
Get the springs, sport shocks, then adjustble camber arm for the rear. After installation then get the good wheel alignment.
I got the alignment for H&R springs set up, the rear camber is about -2.2 degree which will require camber kit to correct it. Other wise my tires are gonna eat up very fast. So I ordered the TVT Design camber arm, it should be here in few days. I will see how it turns out.
If you really want to lower the car, make sure you save up enough to get all these parts at once, other wise you will waste more money and time to correct the issue. Just my thoughts...
