C class coupe owners

[kjay]

Can you guys do me a huuuge favour?

I want to know the standard ride height for the coupe - the front mainly.

The distance I'm after, is from the wheel center to the top of the arch.

So...If you measure the wheel dia in mm, half it, then measure from the rim to the top of the arch, then add the two together.

State if you have sports suspension - if you don't know, it doesn't matter.

Thanks.
Jay.

Thanks fellas!

The reason for the question is....I fitted the lowered Eibach springs ages ago, but was never happy with the ride height. The back is about right (now it's got the '3 burl' rubbers) but the front was still too high.

Eibach claim -30mm at the front and -20mm at the back.

I looked what else is available and ended up getting a set of Weitec's which claim a drop of 45mm at the front.
After getting them fitted, the ride height at the front is now 340 - exactly the same as the Eibachs were.

I've been to MB and measued standard coupes with no sports susp and the highest I could find was 365mm. which about ties in with the figures given in the replies here.

Can't decide wether to push for a refund and try the H&R's or wait till I can afford coilovers.
