Hey everyone,
This post is releated to the post below:
w201 H&R lowering springs in-now 1" higher?!

I was wondering if there is a known relationship between the amount of fender height increase/drop for an increase/ decrease in the spring pad number. I am pretty sure there are similar spring pads used across the mercedes models, but I've been looking for W201 info. I have found the part numbers, thickness and identifying "number" by the bumps present, but after searching online, I can't find any indication of how changes in the spring pad will affect wheel geometry/ fender height. I know it is NOT a 1:1 relationship (ie. that an increase from a 13mm pad to an 18mm pad will NOT increase fender height by 5 mm.) Here's what I know:
front-
1 bump= 8mm pad
2 bumps= 13mm pad
3 bumps= 18mm pad
4 bumps= 23 mm pad (highest available oem)

rear
1 bump= 8mm pad
2 bumps= 13mm pad
3 bumps= 18mm pad (this is the highest avail oem)

Maybe a chassis manual has info? Please help- this info would be very valuable to our community- and me with my front fenders currently sitting at 26.5." Thanks- John
