CLS new rear springs & we're 'Riding High'

[grober]

There are also different heights of rubber spring pad at the top of the spring for finer adjustment. Using a combination of the right spring + pad it should be possible to achieve the ideal ride height. Aerodynamically a very slightly nose down stance is best.

Worst cars scenario - go to a good indie or another MB dealer and get them to check and verify!

You can then add that bill to the muppets compo pot!

I think so too. Another 60 quid for half an hour labour and get the codes read too.

Been up to Merc to measure some heights.

Ours is 705mm, I measured 2 up there at 690 and 700 so nothing much to worry about. I think!

Just been looking at various pics of the CLS and you are correct!

It's just your pic looked sooo wrong!!

I did the same thing this morning and convinced myself something was wrong, but I've now talked myself out of it.

Mine on the left, random on the right.....

Depending on the angle of the shot, yours does look a tad higher?

I'm just used to seeing mine, which is much "flatter" front and rear very similar

the wheels on this one don't look right either, look a smaller diameter than normal.

Those are the same as mine - 17" which was standard up to 2008 refresh when the 18s apparently became standard!

The wheels on the vehicle in question are 18's and its a 2007, I believe they were an option. 275/35's!
