Eibach Pro-Kit or H&R Sport Springs which one better

Both kits are nice. The rap on the Eibach's is that they offer slightly better ride qualities and the H&R's are just a little stiffer with a little more drop.

But the drop of your car is mostly dependant on the Mercedes Spring pads you have installed between the springs and the body. Pads vary in thickness from like 5mm-25mm.

It depends on what pads you already have in there.

Ive just had H&R`s fitted on saturday, and so far i am extremely happy with the ride and drop, although its still settling, i hope it dont drop much more, else i will have to change the spring pads.

That black/white/yellow spot is where the spring was hanging from while being coated. They just dab on some paint afterwards.
