HI all, this is my first post! so hopefully someone finds it useful
so I have a late 95 w202 c280. I lowered it on H&R sport springs (1 inch drop) with bilstein sport shocks to go with it.
It rides great, there is almost no difference in ride comfort (so I think) I've only noticed the extra stiffness on sharp bumps really. Looks heaps better, no rubbing or anything
I used the compressor tool to get the springs out. Made the job alot easy, definately recommend getting one of ebay cheap...er.

SO I just thought I'd show how it looks, if anyone was thinking of this set up
I've got number 1 pads in the back and no pads up front
