Lookin to drop the front!
Hey everyone, I am looking to drop the front of my car... I just put on 19's...the back is perfect, but the front has like 4 finger gap, looking to drop it to 2 fingers...maybe half inch. What do you guys recommmend....also consider that I just blew a shiet load of money on my 19's..... Maybe cutting the springs as an option....I heard going to a lower number pad????

yes, you can lower the number on your spring pad....if you are at a 4 right now, drop it down to a 1. I believe each number is a difference of about .25 inch.

There is NO spring pads in the front of the C230K. If you want to drop the front, your best bet is to get a set of H&R springs. It gives you the most drop among all lowering springs in the market. Personally, I dont suggest changing the springs in the front only or cutting the springs. The money that you spend on cutting the springs can almost buy you a set already.

my bad , harris. i didn't pay close attention to which model car he had....shoulda looked more closely. The difference between you and me is the fact that I can admit I'm wrong when I am. You can't. Anyways, don't start flaming me like you did before, and then go running to the moderators , telling them that I am harrassing you. They all saw that YOu were the instigator...LOL.
