For those that have lowered their w212, how is the ride quality compared to stock? and what size tires do you have? I was going to do 19s and lower with
H&R Springs.

Feedback is much appreciated

Thank you

Just read the eibach kit would provide a bit more comfort than the H&R
Eibach Part # 2581.140

I've just lowered mine with Vogtland 40mm and the ride is ok. Rides over small bumps exactly like it was stock. The bigger bumps you can feel are more sharp or you can feel the spring is stiffer. Spring rate is higher than stock but I feel the stock shocks can't compensate for the higher spring rate so it gives a slight single bounce effect over larger bumps. Hard for me to tell my setup has 65000 miles on it. I will probably change out the struts and shocks for the Bilstein HDs. There is a definite difference from stock.

Thanks for the feedback. What size rims are you on?

Currently on the stock 18s but I have 20s for it.

I was hoping you were going to say 20s lol. So I can imagine it going to get worse

Hello.


Lowered w/ H&Rs and used to run 19 without any problems. Pic of my ride in my sig and link of more pics below the pic.


Can't imagine running 20s as I don't think they would fit without rubbing.


Ride is fine and not much more different than stock.


Currently on 18s as the 19s were getting chewed up in Los Angeles.

Thanks for the feedback. Read some suggested going with eibach for slightly better comfort. Any thoughts?

Not sure, but Eibach might give you that "rake" look. Lower in the front and not still a little high in the back. But please do your own research. I think read somewhere here that somebody had that case. My BMW is on Eibach and it has that "rake" look. Good luck...

I would have went with H&R but they didn't make it for the car.
