I recently replaced my OEM springs. So far the height is still too high. There is about a 2 inch gap. I'm thinking about switching out the spring pads and I'm wondering which pad I should use to get a .5 inch gap.

I have a 1999 230 C class. Does anyone have any recommendations on what pads I should use to get about .5 inch gap between the tires and the fenders?

Also, does anyone know if the spring pads on the front and rear are dot 4 or do they differ from the front and rear on my car.

TIA. mike
