not that is causing this issue... I spoke to the dealership and they dont have the springs! They will have to order them from Japan and will take around a month to arrive...

I will try and find them from somewhere else... anyone has any ideas??? I am in Dubai, UAE.
just buy some aftermarket springs or some coilovers and call it a day....man this guy sure did alot of work to a car that wasnt his....send him to the states...he can "borrow" my car too

yup, he was giving me OEM ones... but then he said, if you want to lower the car, I will give you Mercedes springs which are smaller but would fit your car perfectly and for the same price...

never heard of anyone using Mercedes springs...i would just buy some aftermarket ones so i know for a fact they fit and will handle right (right spring weight for our cars)
