New Coupe / Wheels / Suspension

Hi Guys,

I picked up a C250 Coupe last week and have been working on it over the past few days. I've done the windows, suspension, wheels, and shaved all the emblems. I thought I'd share a few pictures. I just snapped these with the iPhone, but I'll take some better pics soon.

Looks good! Do you have Advanced Agility Pkg? Does it still work after you install the new suspension? How many inche between the fender and the tire now? stock is like 2 inches in the front.

The front are 19x85 ET42 wrapped in 235/35/19 and the rear are 19x9.5 ET48 wrapped in 265/30/19. I lowered with H&R sport springs just to give it about a 1" drop all around. There's just under 1" gap from tire to fender now.
