My new c63 wheels..









These are c63 REPS..18X8 ET35 FR, 18X9 ET 35 REAR with 225/40 fr 245/35 rear pilot super sports.The wheels are of great quality as only one out of the four wheels needed wheel weights when balanced.Very pleased with the look.

Im on Stock pads.I think its perfect where it sits.B2 sports and Voghts are an unbeatable combo IMHO.Handles great and the ride is exceptional for a lowered car.

I used to own that mustang in 92, same color with the black top, black interior, 5 speed, paxton supercharger, kenny brown lowered racing suspension, ceramic headers, flowmaster exhaust, and i had the fiberglass cowl induction hood. i also had a 4 point roll bar and frame stiffeners welded in. it was really tight.

lots of fun back then!

New to Mercedes, couldn't be happier with this car. Previous owner straightened out the whole car then painted it with a satin black. It is also lowered it on H & R Springs

Previous owner Don? If so, he's got himself a nice replacement ,even if it's just a C280.
Regardless,welcome! I love my C36 as well.

I live in DC, and it rides bad enough around DC's potholed roads, so I don't want to lower it anymore haha. Plus, this photo was taken after it had been on jacks while the wheels were being refinished, so the suspension hadn't had a chance to settle in. Bu yours looks good lowered!

For a non modified US model running 17" Monos it's perhaps OK, but for a Europe or ROW version it's too high! Just my opinion. From what I see the bodywork looks perfect too. Well done!

Im running bulstein sports. They are just too old and have probably lost a lot of compression.

The car sat higher.

Its too low bow for every day driving plus it doesnt allow for much adjustment as far as camber

Im thinking about going back to stock for some time until I can afford the suspension I really want(kw coils)

Looks like compression problems are covered under warranty. If you don't like it, then just slap on your old suspension, return the b8 for warranty and sell them after. So you'll be on your way to the kw.
