Hi All,

I am looking at lowering my C-Class, i currently have the stock suspension, but after I added the 18" 5-Spoke's from an SL 500, i really need to lower the car for a better look.

I am considering H & R/Eibach/Bilstein, any well branded company that makes sport springs.

I checked wid Gargash for Brabus or AMG spirngs, they are way over priced and dont give a good enough drop like H & R for example. H & R costs US $ 370, which is really good money for a drop of 1.5" or so without affecting ride quality.

Does anyone know who the dealers are for any of the above brands?

Any info would be well appreciated.

Cheers!
Akzz

Thanx Ali on your input, and the exact reason I dont want to resolve to a Shj. solution is due to the problem ur facing.

I know for a fact, branded springs come with a sort of manufacturing warranty, and they do not affect ride quality or as u say 'steering going hard', I do not want to compromise safety for aesthetic appeal.

Cheers!

There are guys who import such stuff in this forum....
I hope they come forward and assist us in this situation.
I havent worked on suspensions much to recommend where to buy them in UAE....
Plus r u running low profile tires, lets say 40 or 45 profile.. i bet wit 18 inch rims u mite be so.... in that case, there is no suspension which can save u from the back pain on bad roads coz of the low profile tires....

updates required.....

Good work ali... i like the before and after stuff... :P
