Front higer than back...Help!

I recently changed my shocks and springs on my Clk.(Bilstein shocks and Kleeman springs) The drop at the back is nice but the front is higher than the back and its quite noticeable.What can i do to correct this without cutting the springs? I am already running on No.1 spring pads all round> Thanks for advice!

What year CLK? What type of suspension up front? Our project ML had the same issue. There are two bols that adjust the height of the front, aboout 3 feet from the front suspension, located in the main frame.

not stock.
swap your rear pads to a #2 or #3.... or if you want to keep it that low, you have to cut the front springs....

Its a 2003 CLK. I am using biltein shock with kleeman springs.
So adjusting the bolts will be able to lower the car? What specifically is it called? So i can tell my mechanic to adjust it. Cuz they dont seem to know whats wrong and how to adjust it as well
