Does anyone know what springs would be best to lower my s204 c220 amg sport plus?
Don’t want anything to stiff or to low

It’s an estate, lowered suspension defeats the point of having one surely?

Rear passenger suspension has worn down a bit so it hangs a bit lower than the rest of the car.. rather drop it a little bit and loose some arch gap instead of replacing for OEM suspension

FWIW it looks lowered already , either that or you have a few bodies in the rear.

The stance at present looks about perfect , to me anyway , but i am sure the main suppliers (H+R / Koni etc) will have something in their catalog that will suit your requirements.

I’d say the fronts look spot on as they are, so go for whatever meets that drop.

Lowering suspension with today’s worse-than-third-world roads in the U.K. is a courageous decision.

Just want it that little bit lower, Don't want to go crazy low just so it sits nicer don't need the hassle or it being to low on UK roads

H&R springs, probably the best, lowers it about 30mm.

H&R all day long, the best quality product on the market, they are progressive springs so the ride won't change much

The part No is 29076-3, lowers 20mm from standard so yours will drop 5mm as you already have the sport suspension

They also do a "Low version" 29075-2 which lowers 25-30mm so an additional 5 to 10 mm lower
