Nice job, well done IMHO you've achieved a balanced looking end result

Out of curiosity what Country are you from, we don't have the C220-CDI Coupe variant in Aust. only the C250-CDI.

I couldn't agree more, I initially wanted to lower mine a little more but the more time that has gone by I'm convinced I'm leaving it untouched in this area, the AMG sport kit on the C Coupe sits just right IMO and accomodates all manner of driving conditions without any problems, lowering nearly always creates some manner of problems and you can accomodate larger wheels without problems and also you wont loose any of the proper operation of the OEM adaptive magnetic dampers either

With the non AMG Coupes, it may be worth considering lowering but I'd only opt for something like the new KW fully adjustable coil overs for both height and ride quality / handling settings.

Im from Norway, the goverment have really high taxes on new cars so we also have the 180CGI as well. The 250 is the same engine isnt it ? But with a different stroke and ECU configuration ? If i remember correctly its approx. +7.000EUR in only taxes for the 250.

The C63 cost is 250-270.000EUR...

I agree, the ride height is perfect, its a bit stiff with 25/30 tires but i guess thats the price you have to pay for being cool...?
And i dont want to throw away my 5 year fabric warranty either.

Isnt that the whole point with a AMG sport package, having a sporty chassi, lowered suspension engineered by AMG?

Showa

OP looks great man. From the pictures, I think the org AMG sport setup is lower than non AMG sport setup. What is your tires size?

Once again I totally agree, I'm really starting to appreciate all the work done by MB and AMG on their cars, best left alone because it all works so well and we too also have the C180-CGI

Looks like you guys get severely ripped on car pricing similar to people here in Aust. pity cars everywhere can't be cheap like in the US

AFAIK 15mm lower

220coupe

Yes, i agree. 235/30 front and 285/25 rear.
At first i had the 20x9 / 20x10,5 set but i rubbed my fenders, same tire dimension tho.

220coupe

Yup, i guess someone has to pay the fabrication costs
