Guys,
After waiting 3 months to get hold of the springs, i finally had them installed on saturday! and what a difference!
i was surprised to find out that the standard springs on the C36 are just a normal 210 part number, no AMG springs!!! shocks however were special bilstein AMG ones with the AMG logo engraved on them.
car sits LOW now, i changed the front pad from a #4 to a #1 and left the rear as a #2. surprisingly it doesnt rub even with 4 people in it, even tho the rear tyre and bit of the rim are right under the rear arch when fully loaded!
i didnt have my digital camara this weekend else i would have taken step by step pics, changing the springs looked quiet easy as long as you have the right tools (merc spring clamps for the front and a good socket set for the rear)
Tracking was only out a little on the front and rear was fine.
Pics will follow!!!
