If no rub then go for it man!

~ no rubbing what so ever...

i think the rear being lowered a tad more gives the car better balance. actual pics to follow on thursday.

~ new pics with the 5mm spring pad on the rear... now i'm satisfied with the lowering and stance.





the only other change i may make this winter ... to have the wheels painted mb brilliant silver versus the current gray while retaining the machined face, this will allow for a bit more of depth to the wheels.

Perfect! Really really well done

Are you going to get the silver slats of the grille and the centre part of the front bar done in gloss black? It really does make it look a lot more aggressive..

I went to the dealer the other day and he showed me a brand new 2013 C250 Sport coupe - white with obsidian black mirrors, black wheels with polish lip, red calipers, etc. Looked sweet

Awesome result - looks perfect

Andrew, your car is fantastic. I have a 2013 C180 coupe and I bought a set of 19" AMG wheels 19x8.5 et45 245/35-19 and 19x9.5 et 45 275/30-19, like your car. Do you think that I will have rubber issues with the rear quarter panel with this offset??? I don't have a sport springs. I have the standard suspension. Thanks for your comments and photos, are awesome!!! If you have comments to me, I will aprecciate it!!

[QUOTE=Moparcolombia;5390588]Andrew, your car is fantastic. Can you sell me your old spring set???

andrew e coupe

[quote=Moparcolombia;5414494]~ i will be putting them back on the car before lease return in 2.5 years... sorry.

andrew e coupe

well i ordered the 2013 c coupe 'sport' from grill.

i think the black will blend a bit more with the car. before and after pics to follow.

also... the 19"s are about to come off for the winter and be painted mb brilliant silver on the inserts/inside versus the gray with a fresh machined face & clearcoat. looking for some more dimension/depth to the wheels.

You're doing all this on a lease ??

Why not buy the car?

PS I like the new grill, what's the cost and wanna sell it in 2.5 years

Cheers.

andrew e coupe

~ i have 2 choices at the end... remove all the items and sell them off for a discounted price ~ or ~ buy it out at the end of the lease. just not sure at this point... but i enjoy my cars to the fullest.

BlackjackM

Why not? Should he have a car for 3 years and not touch it just cause its a lease?

AV1

Couldn't agree more, enjoy it to the fullest absolutely !!!

You seem to know exactly what your doing andrew, so either way keeping it long term or not isn't going to be a problem

2012 C250 Coupe

Grill looks dope man. All the mods came out really clean looking. I did my grille and lower bumper black. Still would like to have my side markers painted white, but at the body shop my buddy who works there tried to paint them and because I have Diamond White Metallic the paint wouldn't stick to the plastic side markers. Might have to just go clear.

Anyway, How much did it cost to lower the car? For the lowering spring and the 5mm pads you got?

andrew e coupe

~ the total for the eibach pro-kit springs, spring pads, labor and alignment was under $1,000.

also the springs must come directly from germany though...not released in the US for a c250 coupe.

andrew e coupe

~ not liking the look of the 18's in comparison to the 19's. oh well ... great winter set up.

Showa

Yeah, your 19's look better. But you have 5 and 10 mm spacers on the 18's, that's look very good too.

Are you running snows on them? I got a tirerack wheel and tire package with 17in blizzacks and so far so good in the little snow we've had.

andrew e coupe

~ just running the all-season tires. if it gets too bad ... i grab my wifes xc60 r-design volvo suv.

InTheBenz0

what did you do or order to cover your front side marker??? Car looks great!!

andrew e coupe

~ i simple had them professionally painted.
