Also,

I'd like to know if anyone else knows how many suspension "pads" / "bumps" my C43 AMG uses in stock form?

I'd like to lower the car three quarters to one inch at all four corners. How can I achieve this without changing springs or struts?

I believe that this can be done by either changing suspenion "pads"/"bumps" or by eliminating one or two of them.

Please let me know. Thanks

It depends on the factory options on your car. They used the bumps to compensate for heavy or lighter cars. It is very easy to check. Just turn the front wheel to one side and look above the spring. You will see the spring pad and the bumps on the bottom of it.

Also, To get a full inch, you will have to do more than just the pads. The difference between the thinest and thickest is 27mm I think.
