This is disconcerting! I really like the way my car handles stock. It has a bunch of miles on it, and I am assuming that going with performance parts should improve the ride. After quite a bit of reading and searching, I have found folks that say the KYB-Eibach combo gives the most for the least amount of $. I have my springs now, and waiting on the KYB's from europe. I am tempted to use bilstein's instead because I am tired of waiting but now I am wondering, is lowering the crossfire the smartest thing to do? Would I be better off with just doing the shocks and leave the height where it is if I am looking to have the car perform 1/2 way decent without potentially burning through tires unless I add $800 is camber kits for the front and back.

Im itching to drop the car, but I'll be pissed if it handles like crap when I do. Also, how is it that some folks get their car in spec with the 1.2 drop and some folks can't come close, even with the kmacs! I can get my springs installed for about $80. I think I am going to try just doing the springs, letting the car settle, then adding some kind of camber kit. Maybe the NW style front camber bolts, and the SPC rears with the "tool" unless I can find out more about this ground control set up. I pray I can get the car aligned (at the Audi Dealership that I work at) and be lowered and in spec for about $600. Hopefully I won't have issues with clearance (like I've also been reading about) and can later do the shocks. (Kyb's on back order until 2019) (jk) Kills me to spend more on a camber kit than I will on shocks! I wouldn't be able to like with myself if I paid thoursands to do Kll variants and still was bitching about body roll and a crappy ride. There needs to be an easier way on a platform thats been around as long as the Merc/xfire has! "Ground Control to Major Tom"
