07 CLK550
Dropping a CLK550 Cab
I'd like to drop my 07 clk550 cab but I can't find any spings that that are rated for the 550 cab. All manufactuers say they fit a 209 body, clk 500 or 55 cab, but not the 550. My guy here in Atlanta was not sure either, they have not lowered a cab, only the couple.I searched the site and found tons on lowering CLK's, but nothing on the clk550. I also want to put 19" cl63 wheels, any suggestions would be appreciated. If Luke or anyone else can help, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

I looked at H&R's website (www.hrsprings.com). The CLK550 and CLK55 have the same spring model #. Then there is a different listing for CLK55 Cabrio (part # 29259-2). The lowering is slightly less on the CLK55 Cabrio, so maybe it is a stouter spring. Is the CLK55 Cabrio that much lighter than the CLK550 Cabrio? Can the CLK55 Cabrio spring not be used for your car? I would call H&R directly (888) 827-8881 and ask.
As far as the CL63 wheels, they use a 14x1.5 lugbolt. The CLK's use a 12x1.5. So, might be some change-over issue there. If you meant CLK63, you might be good.

Thanks for the help. I have Evosport checking for me too. My guy in Atlanta call H&R and they said they did not make a spring for the CLK 550 cab. I had checked all the websites that manufacture springs and not one of them make one yet. I cant beleive this car is much different in weight then the 06 CLK500 or 55.
As for the wheels , it was a typo, meant CLK63.
Thanks agan
