springs that dropped 2"

Hi guys,
anyone knows any spring manufacturers that make springs for C280 that will drop the car about 2"?
I know eibach and H&R don't drop that much. If not, I am just going to cut the original springs.
I don't see the point buying a sport springs if I still have to cut them 'til the car dropped to the point I like.
Does billstein still have the heavy duty shocks?
I have 18"AMG wheels with 225/40 in the car.
Thanks!

Denny

If this is a W202 then SPAX do. Part#'s so23014 for 96+ and so23015 for pre 96. The drop is about 1.75- 2 inches. Take out the the spring pads or go with the number 1 spring pads then you have a significant drop. The springs are very good quality.

Don't go with the HD shock go with the bilstien sport shocks. Do not buy Spax shocks!
Hope this helps.

www.nopionline.com sells the pre 96 C280 spax spring kit for $150. If your car is a 96+ you might have to call them up.
