What brand of springs to lower a CLK 55 AMG Convertible 1" or so?
Hi, Could someone advise me on a brand of springs I should get to lower my new CLK 55 AMG convertible. I have 19" rims, 8.5 (245) fronts & 9.5 (265)rear running Bridgestone S-03's.
I don't want to go to extreme but would like the car a little lower, I feel the rear of the car is set a little to high. Can you tell me the ideal drop, would it be 3/4 of inch for the front and 1 and a quarter inches for the rear. I have scene a lot of photos on the forum but also a lot of the CLK's are not 55 AMG's which are a little lower than say a CLK 500 to start with.
Is there a spring set that most people are happy with and is the standard AMG shocks on the CLK 55 AMG good enough just to do a spring change only.
