Im in a bit of a dilemma here. I am in the works of buying a new set of lowering springs for c280 sport. so i was wondering if i do decide to go buy the vogtland springs do they really lower the car more than h&r? Im looking for 2-2.5in drop. I know h&r only lower it 1.5in ir less. My car came with bilstein sport shocks. Im not really trying to spend too much for coilovers so any other suggestions would be nice

my vogtlands for my c43 lowers 1.4 inch which is 35mm front and rear

if you want to go lower than that you need H&R SuperSport springs, they lower way more.
then you will need to get the thickest pads 5/4 combo

Vogtlands have the same drop as h&r sport. I've looked everywhere for the h&r supersport springs everywhere And based on my research and calls from shops i dont think h&r produced supersports for w202.

Does anyone have any idea if c43 amg h&r super sport will fit my c280 sport?

@arar_hany how much of a drop did vogtlands give you? And what size rims you running? Do you have a fender gap? I want my tires to be tucked in as much as possible thanks

Not sure how much of a dropp but I've got vogtlands springs #1 Pads... as for my wheels, 19x8.5 +35 offset. I've been experiencing some rubbing in the rear tho, but it only occurs when passengers are in the back.
