W203: Experience or opinions with Carlsson Threaded Sport Suspension?
I have a C320. I currently have H&R Sport springs on 19*8 [235's] & 19*9.5 [265's] HRE wheels with stock shocks. The rear tires rub slightly on swoops with a full tank & 5 people.
After a year of waiting for Koni shocks and increased compression/rebound problems, I'm looking elsewhere. The Kleemann setup is nice but $$$. So, I'm looking at Carlsson's.
1. Is the Carlsson a good setup?
2. How low is the drop? I'm looking for minimal from stock height.
3. Will a #4 spring pad help? I'm looking for a slight negative rake.
4. With a 9.5" rear wheel, can I use a 255mm tire safely?
Many thanks in advance,
