Hi all,Im very exited! This morning,I had a set of H&R spring installed in my car.I chose #2 pads in the front and #3 in the back.The look?, so sweet (at least to me.My firstM.B.).To my surprise,the ride is better than stock.I use Bilstien comfort shocks.Stirring is a lot lighter too.The car rides on 16 inch rim with 215-50.The set up,lowered the front 1.5 inches and 1.25 in the back.The back is about half inch higher just as I wanted to.Theres no rubbing at all.My question is,do I have to put a thicker sway bar and strut bar? Need suggestions from all Benz lover. Regards,Clauser.

Clauser:

That's sounds great! I've got a set of Bilsteins and H&Rs ready to go, but have been pondering which pads to use (I purchased an assortment). Do you recall what the stock pads were?

Thanks!

Brian

Brian,
My stock pads where #3 in the front and #3 in the back.
Remember,I used comfort shocks and I have a steel encapsulation pan.
