Lowering springs

[Nitrous911]

I am thinking about lowering my 2000 C280 and I was wondering what were some good companies to go to? Just wanted to know the ride of some spring that you guys have put on. Respond with some info on springs. Thanks.

H&R

Eibach

Brabus

Volgtland

if you get springs you need shocks also

Koni or bilstien will work

or you can get the Shock/Spring combo the H&R CUP KIT.

Has anyone ever used B+G ?

these are said to be progressive ... all the others a fixed spring rate. I wish spring manufacturers published their spring rate values. [!!!]

I cannot speak for the rest of them, but I know that your stock ones, Vogtland, and H&R are for sure progressive springs.

[98c43amg]

really! :o I stand corrected.

BTW, CKlasse ... did I read correctly a few weeks back? You're not producing the C43 exhaust anymore?

Nah. We are doing mostly the new SLKs, Cs, Es, CLKs, and some SLs. But again, I wouldn't refuse any orders, I simply don't stock them anymore.

if you want to buy some H&Rs, I have a slightly used set for $150.

How old are the springs? Would my tires rub on fender wall if I had 19's? How much would they drop it? Respond ASAP, I might be interest!
