Congratulations!!! What springs are you running? How much of a drop does it say for the springs? If your just running H&R's with different pads, then you will not rub. Although, I would not know, my car is not lowered, I like the stock heigth and 15" rims....Im finally getting my C lowered.

Im going to be running Eibach springs. I cant wait. When i get extra money i'll probably get some 18's. So #2 pads all around is fine. Thanks again people... I'll post some pic later.

i have 18s with HR springs which lower the car even more, and #1 pads rear and #2 in front with no rubbing, i just want to change the front to #1 also, trust me get 1s all around

I've run 235's up front on 19x8.5" rims at one point with hardly any rubbing...and that was with #1 pads all around, so I doubt you'll have problems.
That's assuming the offset is correct too. If anything, the offset can make or break how the wheels will fit.
Do you know what they are?
Which springs do people here prefer Eibach or HR. Is there a reason for choosing one over the other?
And also, i noticed some people have changed their shocks from the original AMG ones, why would you replace AMG parts their suppose to be premier performance parts.
General consensus is that H&Rs are stiffer but harsh, and Eibachs are are less stiff but more ride oriented. Not to say the Eibachs aren't good. I rode in Luwin's car with Eibachs and was very impressed with how it handled and how much more comfy they were over all.
As for shocks, the AMG shocks are definitely good....bilsteins with reported AMG valving for the AMG springs.
But for those who are really striving for a balanced ride,using the OEM shocks with non-OEM springs may have a less than ideal ride. Due to the mismatch in spring rate and shock valving. Rebound and compression is not a perfect match to the shocks.
So it does get you by, and maybe is not a problem for most. but for those who really want new suspension to improve car handling, they willmost likely want a matched set of shocks, or at least adjustible shocks to tailor the ride to their desires.
The H&r cup kit is good because it is a matched set for example.
What are good offset for W202? I was checking my stock spring pad i have #4 front and #1 rear. Is this normal?
i guess, not all benzes come with same pads, my car had stock #3 in front and #2 in rear
and for a 202, a good offset is a 35

So my offset is cool then. Its 35mm. I dont really want to slam the car, because my driveway is kinda high and i drive my car in Frisco street everyday. And Frisco streets are not friendly to drop cars. Can i put the rear spring pads and put it infront?

Nope they're different in diameter (so does the spring)
