    Yes it handle better.

    Using #3 up front and #2 in the back i believe. The front is tucked a little, the rear is tucked a little more then the front.

    But remember this..each car lowers differently no matter if you use the same spring pad combo. That's the whole reason why MB uses spring pads because each car will sit differently even from factory.

    Does the bac look like it sits way lower than the front?

    I have the stock AMG Mono II 17's.
    Like I said, just because you use my set up it does not mean you will get the lowering I got. It takes most people two times of swapping spring pads to get the look they want. Each car is different. I got about a 3 inche..little more drop. Some people get less with the same set up.

    All MB's coming out of the factory have different spring pads in them. My stock spring pads were like 3 in the front and 4 in the back. I don't remember.

    coolcarlsik43 --

    Yeah I might have some free time this weekend. If you lower your car you will need Bilstein Sports (these shocks are valved for less travel and will work much better than stock shocks or HD's). The HD's are designed for the same ride height as stock but with the same hardness as the Sports.
