A good spring & shock combo will make a significant difference. Eibach springs w/ bilstein sports should give you improved handling without too hard of a ride. The Euro springs are also an excellent solution if you want to drop the car about an inch but still give it that OEM feel.

What would you like to change regarding your current setup?
Will you be tracking this car?
Will this upgrade be for show car purposes only?
Most importantly, what is your budget?

Euro springs really are an amazing setup. If you want to keep OEM feel and drop the car for a sportier look & ride without being too rough then going with a bilstein HD or sport shock on OEM springs (with lower spring pads if you like) really is the best way to go.
If you want to track in, H&R is the only real way to go (but the drop can be a bit excessive for some people).

Has anyone just tried the old school method of just cutting the amg coils?? Im not talking with a torch, but maybe half a coil with a cutoff wheel? I just hear alot of buzz about wanting this lower stance and lets face it... most are not seeing any real track time to worry about the geometry. Comments??????
