From what I have read here I am going to buy H&R springs and the #4 pads for the rear. Right now my front end sits about 1.5 inches higher than the rear. Will the car have a nice rake with this setup? I really dont like the "saggy rear" or "reverse rake" look I see with some lowered CLK 55s. I want the least aggresive drop possible.

Where can I find the part # for the rear spring pad? Am I correct that the font has no spring pad?

Who do you guys reccomend to buy the springs from?

-Thanks

if you want the least aggressive drop, go with vogtland or eibach. 1.5 in drop on both ends.

You can get the spring pads part numbers on the parts sticky. If you don't want an aggressive drop then, like Brian said, Vogtland/Eibach is the way to go. I believe the Eibachs lower 1.2" all around.

Thanks!

I read cars should only be dropped X amount before we compromise the handling.
If that the case with our CLK's? I wanted to lower mine too.

Just starting the research.

I have eibachs with a #1 pad in the rear...take a look at my album in my profile to see if that's the look you're going for...

So #1 = 5mm and the 17mm = #4 ?

dynomite05

Yup

Looks like I need to buy the #4 to raise the rear abit up .

Wes, I remember to ask you which pad does my car have but I couldnt remember now ..Do you ? Lolz

dynomite05

I believe it's #2.

Thanks for all the tips I ordered the Eibach kit and #4 rear spring pads. The ride is already pretty harsh with the 19s but the cars gotta sit right

dynomite05

The #4s and the Eibach might have you sitting a bit high.

with h&r's what pad will drop you the lowest?

bheng

i have pad 3 with the vogtlands and my rear sits lower

dynomite05

#1 will drop you the lowest

AMGY

I want the rear to sit higher than the front and right know the rear is slammed and the front is jacked up for some reason.

Just ordered a pairs of #4 (17mm). We'll see how it looks.

AMGY

Perfect stance

Thanks man...I searched long and hard to get the right combination with drop, springs, pads, wheels and tires and it all came out right...

Eibachs are great as they keep the Mercedes comfort level and don't have that saggy rear look...

What wheels you looking to run and what offset?...

Your rear is going to sit 12mm higher than his with the #4 pads.
