Unhappy New springs NOT low enough!!!

Today I finally installed the 500E front swaybar and Nuespeed (H&R) sport springs on my 300E. I used 1 bump in the front and 3 bump spring pads in the rear. My goal was to improve cornering and handling, but the look I wanted and expected just wasn't there.

Right now the car is pretty level and there is about a 2in Gap from the tires to fender all around. Even with the lowest 8mm spring pad in the front. I was really going for 1-1.5 in all around. Is there a way I could drop the car a bit more? Iv'e thought about sanding the 1 bump to half it's thickness and placing them all around. Any of you guys with the Neuspeed or H&Rs on W124s please share your current ride height and Pad combo.

By the way the 500E sway-bar is great, it reduces roll by about 30% a must for those tuning thier W124s.

Thanks!
