car didn't..

[shinbri116]

lower evenly. Just got my carlsson rims on with vogtland springs. the back didn't lower as much as the front. Do you have any suggestions to fix this problem or is it something i can't fix.

thanks..

Should be easy.
See how many bumps your rear springpads have, i.e. if they are currently 3 bump pads, you can go to 1 bump.
That would drop the rear some.
Keep in mind, you are supposed to have about 3/4" rake, front to back on your car, as per M-B. ;)

All i can think of is

Spring pad swap

Maybe shocks in front are blown

Let the springs settle for a week

Hey man where did u get em installed?

Lets meet up i wanna see the car with the new wheels and drop on it!!

later

I got my new springs and I am trying to order the spring pads from my local dealership and others in the immediate area. One told me the front pads only come in one size and the other told me the front and rear only come in one size. Will these part numbers work for a c43 as well? Maybe if I can give them specific part numbers they can figure it out. Then again..........

should work for all cars, probably someone here can confirm

give them the part numbers

that's because at the dealership they can only see the aprts for YOUR car when entering your VIN in the EPC. That's why he said you only have one size, the one on your car right now.

If you give them the part numbers they should be able to order them.

those part numbers work for any w202 AMG or non AMG. Just make sure you get the right year.
