Lowering my CLK, & H&R spring (coil)?

Sorry for a newbie question

If I am to make my car more handsome by two phases,
shall I

(a) change the spring 1st
or
(b) change the tyres and rings 1st (to 18" Brabus Monoblock VI)
or must be done together??

Also, shall I just change into H&R spring? (coz it seems people recommend it here) or use H&R spring coil? (correct me if I'm wrong)

Many thanks!!!

Where about in HK do you live? My uncle has an E320 with 18" brabus monoblock 4 and it rides okay, i think if you lower your car with H&R's it will kill the ride especially on the HK roads. I think Eibachs are generally more comfortable but wont lower your car by much, depending on the spring pads.

BTW where are you getting your mods done at?

Hi Tezta,

I live in Mei Foo. Thanks for your suggestion. U know my friend recommends Eibachs also but a famous garage here recommends also H&R.... difficult to choose..

I always drive to rural areas where the roads are not so flat.

Let me fix my battery and boot problems 1st then I will have the mod.
