W210 Eibach prokit spring

[Guest angela]

Hi,

Just to show picture of my recent drop on my W210 E280 with front spring pad #1 and rear #2. Everything is still stocked. The picture is 2 days after the spring change(2 fingers high), will take another current picture with the spring fully settle down, (even lower, less than 2 fingers).

BTW, the total maximum allowable size is only 192kb, cant even attached 2 pictures.... suggest to increase to 128k/pic instead of 192k/message...

Sorry about the picture size restriction as we have limited server space! I have since increased each post to handle 256kb max of pics.

Very gian to buy the Eibach kit after looking at the way yours turned out! Is the ride comfort okay with a full load of passengers ? I think my car has had stock suspension for waaaaaaaay too long. ;D

Hi Keltanky

Just that sometimes the imageshack is real slow. THanks for the suggestion.

Hi 911

The ride comfort still remains, but it is definitely firmer and the car handle really well, no more "throwing you around" on uneven road. . My suggestion is to try someone's car with the similar setup.

Ok dude. So far don't know anyone with this setup so if you happen to drop in to SGP for a meetup session I will definitely approach you

I think Yahoo FlickR.com is good and it's free.

The spring pad is placed on top of the spring. It has different height determine by the #, with #1 the lowest and #5 the highest.

I have upgraded my SLK with 18" rim, so the stock 16" rims are moved to my W210. It looks so different now with the stagger setup

hi, do you know what the front spring pad of the stock car is? i've lowered my car but the front still has 2 fingers gap. i want no gap ;D thought of cutting the spring but was advised against it by many people so the next thing to do is to change the spring pad.

It might be different for your car, mine came stock with pad #1 front and #2 rear, so I just leave it there. The best way is to jack up the car, remove the wheel and look at the top of the spring, you should be able to see or feel(use your hand) some kind of "dot" on the pad, the number of dots denote the pad number. For after market spring, with 2 finger height should be quite right. What spring did you use? H&R I heard goes lower than Eibach. If you want lower, change to sport absorber or adjustable coilover, with the latter able to give you the desire height.

Cheers.

I use Kleeman spring and the drop at the rear is ideal for me ie half tire tucked under the fender so i want the front to have no gap to look more balance with the rear.
