Any one with Eibach & Koni Suspension Setup ? - Benzworld.org

Hi everyone:

I have finally purchased the Eibach Pro lowering spring and Koni adjustable shock for my 2002 CLK 320 Coupe.

I know this had been discussed in the past, but I am looking for any current update.

Anyone have the Eibach & Koni set up, please advise ..

1. What spring pad # should I use to achieve the lowerest look ?
( been suggested #1 at the front #2 at the rear)
Would #1 all round be a stupid idea ?

2. Suggestion on Koni shocks setting ?

3. Camber kit ?

4. Fender needed to be rolled ?

Any CLK pictures would be much appreciated.

Thanks very much for everyone's input in advance.

Will document my before and after lowering pictures (& measurement) when lowered my ride, will post the picture for everyone to see here.

Confirmed so far:

Spring Pad Front - #1 (E-Class 5mm Pad) more agressive lowered look !

** Matching CLK Spring Pad for the Rear ? (# 2 or # 1 )

Camber kit needed ?

Thanks all, need info soon, getting the CLK lowered..

going from a #5 pad to a #1 pad is a 3/4" drop plus what ever the manufactor
states for thier springs. as for rolling the fender lip with an agressive drop,it is recomended if using wheels 18" or bigger. In my case, I have #4 pads,19" monoblock VI, 235-35-19,255-30-19 exclaim ultra high performance all season and stock
springs and have a 1 1/4" gap in front, a #1 e-class pad will fit the bill, about a
1/2" gap in front. not a precise drop but good for my personal preferance, the rear will remain as is untill I hook up some audio equipment. let just tell you that you have arrived to the right spot, alot of menbers with tecnichcal expertise on this particular subject. good luck on your mod !!

Anyone riding with with #2 or #3 spring pad on the rear with their CLK ?

With eibbach pro kit lowering spring hopefully.. Picture would be much appreciated.

Does anyone know if #1 spring pad at the rear is even possible?

Thank you all.... Great people with solid knowledge on the site...

Then do the same for the back:

Get #1 pad of the W210 for the rear.

Woudl the W210 's rear spring pad fit on CLK ?

#1 (W210's) Spring pads all round would give even gaps front and back ?

Finally after consult with many of you experienced MB owner.

I am going use the front E-class #1 pad in the front and use the rear Clk #2 pad in the rear.

Just open the box of of my new eibach spring , two spring seem larger than the other two. Which ones go front or back ? Just wondering....
