What best spring to lower a clk?

[will lam]

Hi

Just wondering which brand to use on a clk, for comfort and handling. I don't want to go too low, as speed bumps on our estate. Here a picture of her so far

I had Eibach's on my previous car, best springs I've used so far, comfort was hardly compromised if at all, and handling has improved.

You'll get quite a number of H&R recommendations on here, also a great quality spring, but I'd have them as my second choice after Eibach.

Keep us posted on what you go for, pictures are a must of course!

What he said.

I needed new shocks and springs and went with Eibach springs.

Just a bit lower than stock, but it sits beautifully and drives really really well.

Philip, any chance of getting a picture on here? Really interested to see how the CLK sits on them!

Might be worth sharing the deal if it wasn't a private purchase

H&R springs for me...
Used to have Eibachs on my Ford Focus....
But since had H&R on both my C180K and C63. Excellent ride and much much better handling.

Springs do not lower the car too much at all. Infact in my previous car i had to get the spring pads changed to lowest size to see a significant difference in ride height.

I will see if i can find a pic

here you go, this is with eibach springs and lowest size mount rubber pads.

Yes no problem.

I will take a picture in the morning and post it up when I get to work.

Look forward to seeing that

Looks like it sits high for a Avantgarde?

Thanks Philip, sitting nicely! Any shots before the springs were on?

Hmmm, I will have a look, but I dont think so.

Don't worry if you don't, I'm just being really nosy.
