New Springs and a few questions

Hey there!

I have an 2000cc 190E 1989..

And I want to lower it, maybe 30mm?

Do H&R make springs for this model?

And could someone point a site for me where i can buy?

And also, what kind of soundsetup do you guys recommend?
- Good 10cm and 13cm speakers and an amplifier?

And If the car is lowered 30-40mm, and on 16" wheels, what tire-size do you recommend

Thanks

Your best bet is to find a set of springs (H&R, Eibach, Jamex, FK, etc) designed for the 2.3L. Units for the 2.6L will probably be sprung a little heavy for the fronts.

It would help to know what part of the planet your living.

Most people go with 4" coaxials in the front dash and 5 1/4", 6 1/2", or 6x9's in the rear. But if you go bigger than stock in the rear, you will have to cut out the rear deck and maybe the metal also. Theres no point in hooking up an amp to the coaxials, but the "bigger/more powerful" speakers in the rear you should hook an amp to. Have you thought about subs?

Hey there.

When I bought the car it had two 8" subs in the rear shelf, pretty nice work there, but I don't know if they work, since I don't have an Amp.

I am going to buy an 4channel amp, 4x100rms to drive both of the subs and the two rear speakers.

In the front i am going with the orginal size, my player is 4x52w.

What is the orginal speaker size in the rear?

Thanks, and btw, would you guys recommend this?
