w203 coupe lowering springs

[C200Coupe]

Hi all,

I've done as much reading as i can on here and mbworld.org. What i am trying to establish is: I have the w203 sport coupe with AMG styling package (2001) - if i buy 30mm front and 20mm rear lowering springs, is this actually going to result in a visual lowered appearance? i.e are the new springs lowering the car than the stock springs? I have 17" amg alloys

I am after a slightly more aggressive and low looking stance than i currently have but i also don't want to be driving 2mph over speed bumps or the car to look obviously modified. The subtle grey area in between where i am now and scraping the floor is what I'm after lol

Eibach spring package for your model would do the trick, couldn't recommend them more from my previous car. Still yet to get a set for my w209!

What mm drop do the Eibach spring package provide? I have heard that this package flattens the car down and you lose the nose forward (front lower than back) stance.

Hmm.... Don't know tbh - was perfectly straight on on my Leon, might be a different story on MB & will probably vary from model to model.

I have attached a pic of the Leon

& this is what I've found from MBworld, I presume it would sit nicer on bigger wheels.

Quite a few people on here seem to like the H&R option, which are also top quality - but I think they are stiffer.

Just looked at the 209 difference in H&R & Eibach, I definatly prefer the Eibach look

99% buying the eibach package on payday. Just hoping that the difference is visible over the AMG sport package.
