how to get smaller stock MB spring pads?
earlier in the summer, some guys had posted some info about ordering thinner spring pads from MB. how do you go about doing this? how much do they cost? and what are the expected results in terms of how much the car is lowered? do you recommend it?any help would be greatly appreciated.

1) You go to the dealership PART DEPARTMENT and ask for them. Bring your VIN, then you can find the original size that came with your car.
2) Between $5-$10 each, depending if you are in the US and what size you get. Installation will vary.
3) The expected results vary depending on the spring shims you have already installed.
4) Yes, if you're not looking to lower the car too much, just to adjust the height a few millimeters or to even out the car.
