From elegance height 40mm isn't much below sport height - probably about the same as mine with 10 year old springs and #1 pads at the front.i've not long owned a 1996 c230 elagance and it sits way to high and rides way to soft. whats the best(read cheapest and easiest ) way to slam it? most spring sets i've seen say 40mm lower and i'm not sure thats gonna be enough for me......
Yep rubber pads between top of spring and body - used for tuning the rdie height to cope with different options - e.g a fully optioned elegance will have thicker pads than a base classic.what are the pads that i see often refered to? no1 etc? are these like a rubber insulator that stops the metal on metal rubbing? are there different thickness'? i'll see if i can find these 60mm springs. cheers
whats the best way to slam it?
Its a crummy piece of tat made after the golden age of Mercs, when the firm started making their cars down to a price. The 190 was a far superiour car in so many respects. W202s rust, and in the case of the Estate tailgates, they rust alot. They don't feel anything like as solid as the previous generation and there are at least 2 members here who have gone back to W201 from W202s because they are so pants. The firm may only now be starting to recover from the impact on their reputation.
Thats not what you meant. Is it?
I'll get me coat.
