Hi to everyone first of all.
I have an Clk 270 on which I want to put some coilovers to lower it as much as possible. The only think that I don't know is which ones could be mounted without any spacers in the front?? Which ones can go the lowest? Which ones would be the best quality?
Thanks in advance.
This is the car:
I was thinking at kw as well, because I had them before and I really liked them, but the only reason why I cannot chose them it's because I have spacers at the moment to be able to fit the wheels and they really close to the shock absorber, so I don't think they're going to have enough space.
Any reason why not slamming it?
I heard only good things about Bilstein as well. They can be fitted without spacers and do you know how low they can go?
I haven't used the bilsteins but I think the PSS9 are 30-50mm drop.
Just personal preference but rubbing on bumps, driveways, having to park well back from even the smallest obstacles at the end of carparks etc, not my idea of fun. Not to mention the whole suspension is taken away from its ideal working geometry. This will affect handling, braking and acceleration. You will need adjustable camber and probably toe and will go through tires a lot quicker.
Ohh because those reasons, yeah I know, you're right, but that doesn't bother me at all, I kind of like it
I found some H&R coilovers that can lower as much as 60-70 mm. Do you know something about them? I remember I saw here on the forum a guy Sweet Jones if I'm right, that has that setup on his car and looks great.
This is his car.
