Suspension ?s
I'm a newbie who just purchased a 03 clk 500 w/amg package. My goal is 19in staggered wheels, lower suspension n a decent ride live in nj. the koni adj strut/ shock kit part #s 8741-1412\8041-1319 r for c230 class cars. Y do many use these or does KONI not make parts for our cars. I dont want to ruin my factory ride trying ANYYTHING so i really would like to know EVERYTHING INVOLVED TO MAKE THIS WRK in case the PROS have trouble. Also going to use eibach lowering springs. I just need a step by step map to follow to get this right. Thank u for any info...gotta get back to work lol

2003 clk 500 amg
im purchasing koni yellows for my car and i want a nice even drop on the car. I dont want a harsh ride at all (been down that rode with lowering springs h&r and sport shocks, w 22 in rims on my grand cherokee). ive been through all info here and im still dont know if the eibach springs will give me the look after they settle that the h&r will but let me keep the comfort. Has anyone had both? Do the eibachs really settle or r they a waste of money.
P.s - car will have 19in wheels also. Thanks

Ive been through the threads for months n ive learned that the people who want the look settle for the h&r's but then put a pad in the rear to raise the back up which makes me wonder y not just get the eibachs n not sacrifice comfort? It SEEMS the eibach isnt a GUARANTEED stance.. Can anyone that has the eibachs w/ shocks give me sum input n how do u know what pads to use?
