Possibly too extreme how? The difference is only 15mm wouldn't that just drop the car 15mm? or does it have a more profound effect?
I did read it a bit. It looks like they measure the control arm height...from the eccentric bolt to the bottom of the arm just before the ball joint area. The distance between the two is supposed to be about 45 mm +10 - 15.
EDIT: Talked with my mechanic, he said that unless you buy the springs direct from Mercedes, they are indeed a bit stiffer. I'm gonna drop the car off to him and see what he thinks about changing the pads to achieve proper ride height
