w208 lowering

[Bignak]

Hi all
i want to lower my w208 clk and have been talking to a mechanic who says mercs dont like to be lowered....strain on ball joints ect

Are mercs more susceptable to lowering than other motors?? i only want to go 30mm lower with eibach springs but he's saying he wouldn't recommend it.

If you change the shocks,is not a problem at all.I would not recomend you lower the car with original shocks

Shouldn't be a problem mine is 35mm lower on a Brabus set up with no issues over 3 years
