pics? im gonna put 20's on mine soon and I wanna see how it looks.
with your question. if youre not slamming it, I reckon you should be alright. 1" to 1 1/2" will give you better handling due to lower center of gravity.
oh thats yours! seen it on another thread, but i dont get tired of seeing it over and over again. thats a lovely car mate and im sure itll look even better when you drop her not to mention handle and ride better. gorgeous as she sits right now but wouldnt mind an inch an a half lower to get rid of the fender gap. just my 2 cents.
Thanks for the feedback and pics. Looks better for sure. The real question was regarding the ride. How did it change for you? Do you passengers now say "um, is this really a Benz or what - rides like a buckboard" LOL

I was concern about the ride quality before I lowered it, but unless you go through speed bumps at full speed which I wouldn't do anyways on stock wheels or stock height. You and your passengers will thank you for it. Like I said, it corners better, it doesn't bounce nor will it rub against the fenders. I could of put the stock springs back on if me and my passengers didn't like the ride, but had them on for about a year and couldn't be happier. Good luck and keep us posted.
I also had same concern about ride quality!!
Thanks to this post answered all my question.
But I also have question about Rims and Tires.

So you actually got the Sport springs 1.4" and 1.3" drop where as the Pro Kit is 1.2" front and back. I wonder if there is a difference in compression rating between the Pro and Sport.

I don't know the specs., but do know mine is the sport springs and not the pro kit. My understanding is the pro springs are stiffer, but the drop is the same.
Guys you need to keep in mind where you live does matter on your wheel/tire setup. I live in SoCal and the roads are decent where as I read in the Midwest, some roads are rough and can bent the wheels easily so your tire would need a little more diameter around the wheels to better protect the wheels. Hope this helps.
One great thing and the best I found is like for Vossen, you can contact their customer service and tell them the year, make, model and where you live and they can tell you exactly what setup with or without lowering it to get the best out of your car.
What kind of springs did you get? Eibach sport or H&R I like the drop
I got the H&R spring up front and links in the back, BUT it's still sitting in my gardge. It is not lowered at all as of now so I guess I shouldn't lower it? I kinda like to look at the back, but the gap on the front wheels seems to high for my taste so might as well throw the springs and links in and see how they look and ride.
