lowered 4matic roll call

I looking for members that have lowered 4matics. I'm looking to lower mine and everything I'm finding is I'm going to have to cut my springs. Any info about handling, ride quality, camber, etc would be awesome. I'm tired of riding so high off the ground.

I cut my springs and so far the ride is the same. I went from 17s to 18s the same time I cut my springs so I have attributed any change in the ride to the bigger rims.

I cut 3/4 coil in the rear and 1/2 coil in the front. I should have done more in the front because now I have reverse rake, I need to roll my fenders before going lower up front with my 18s.

this is before I cut the backs


Check out this thread he cut 2.5 coils from the front and 1.25 on the rear.
