I finally got my H&R springs

Also, I'm getting new tires soon. I have 215/55/16...so i was thinking 205/50/16? Maybe 45 since i'll be lowering it?

Not really if you have the correct spring compressor. You don't really need a spring compressor for the rear just the front. You gotta watch out and do it slow because you don't want a spring to pop in your face.

I'm still looking for new tires. What are some nice highly rated high performance all-season tires in 205/50 around 100$ max per tire?

I'm just looking for any suggestions..

does anyone have a clue as to what size those pads are?

look under it on the side there are some rubber little bumps... however many bumps there are thats the size aight

EDIT***** they are number 2/// i can see the little bumps on the pics

Thanks, that's better I guess!

I wanted to go lower bump pads, but since they came with the springs I guess I'll leave em alone. It'll be fine for now

yeah dude, don't mess around with the springs... i had one pop in my face even using the correct spring compressor. it scared the ****e out of me and maybe hurt my hearing a bit, but no more than the average concert, lol. but needless to say, i could've taken a spring right in the dome.

My dad's friend is a Merc mechanic. Mostly w124, w126, etc..

So he's going to do it for me and I'll assist as much as possible (because it's being done for free)

Oh, and the tires..

So, Why do you plan to decrease the width of the tire size... I would stick with 215...

STLe320

I decided i'm going to go with the 215 come to think of it. I want the side wall more squared off in looks. Not round like my current 55's. Would the sidewall of a 225/45/17 be similar to 215/50/16 in looks?

it all comes down to Tire Brand and Model

Final decision on tires:

Bridgestone G-Force

I want these for my car...
But my dad's keeping them for his SL...
