HAPPY BUT CONFUSED C250
Hello all
I have a 2012 C250 Sport. I love it. I just put 19's on. Thanks to all of your guys posts and about 3 weeks of research finding the right fitment for me (flush), I pulled the trigger.

19x8 +45 with Hankook V12 235/35/19
19X9.5 +53 with Hankook V12 275/30/19
The ride and fitment is PERFECT! However I was planning on doing a mild drop kit just to sit about an inch above the wheels. I use it for work, so I cant have it slammed.. I have read all about the different springs, spring pads for the rear, fact that the sports sit lower than the Luxury models, etc. I also did not want the rear to sit lower than the front which seems to happen to some when they do the 5mm pads. I was thinking I was going to have to do the H&R SS with 9mm pads to get the look I wanted. See from the pictures below why I am Happy but confused. I now sit barely over an inch all the way around!!!! I dont need to do anything to lower it now.. Someone told me the 2012/13 C Sports sit lower than previous years..?? However when I had the stock 17's I had the rake look??
