4x4 in a c36

[OgdenC36]

Well it looks like I can with my ride height! Can I swap out spring pads to thinner ones or is this not going to make much difference? If I change out the springs to an eibach kit, which states it will lower car by 1.2", will I also need to change shocks to billy sports or similar? Thank you all in advance!

the spring pads arent gonna make a Huge difference. more to just fine tune the look. i think if youre gonna swap the springs, you might as well do the shocks too. 2 birds. itll be noticeably different too. the eibach/bilstein combo is a great choice


the pads range from 1-5 with 1 being the smallest. roughly half an inch difference between them

mine sits just like that too (higher than a standard c280 as well when u compare side by side)

Thanks, I didn't know the sizes for the pads. I think that the amount of drop offered by the eibach kit and #1 pads will have more of the ride height that I am looking for.

My C36 was created in Febuary of '96, where would you consider it in '96-'99 or '94-mid'96??
