    Suggestions on Pads...

    My AMG Springs on the c36 seem to be cut in the front, and with my 18's i seem to be rubbing bad, would it be a better choice to put pads on the front or just get some h&r springs??


    Thanks Gary

    that would help alot understanding how your current setup looks like before we can suggest anything

    Remember you have pad# 3 front and pad# 2 rear. What more would pad# 1 do to front tires? #1 = thinner #5 = thicker.

    pad #1 = 5mm
    pad #2 = 9mm
    pad #3 = 13mm
    pad #4 = 17mm
    pad #5 = 21mm

    the rears are different but these are the measurements for the
    front.

    36SlaMMEd: it depends on if u want to go the cheap route or the expensive route! if u like the ride u have with ur cut AMG's.. I'd say just go for thicker spring pads.. depending on if u can even go any thincker.. u will have to check what pads ur running now! but the pads r under $10 a piece.. or hundreds of $$$$$$ for new springs! ur choice!

    Off roading is no good!! gotta be slammed! I just changed my rear pads.. now I'm running #1 pads all around.. looks tight.. tucking rubber front and rear!
