2015 C250 Coupe
C250 mods
I just bought a new 2015 C250 Coupe last October and am looking for some simple mods.
I'm looking to occasionally track the car on road courses near me
but it is also my daily driver. I've looked through the forums a bit and it's quite clear that HP mods are pretty slim in variety and benefit so most of the mods I'm looking for are cosmetic or related to handling.
The car rides very well, is responsive and planted. I like the suspension, but I'd like to lower the car to give it a better stance. I was looking at Eiback lowering springs (http://www.autoanything.com/suspensi...A2549A0A0.aspx) and some OZ 18" lightweight rims (http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...5&autoModClar=).
I'm expecting to lose a little bit of that "cush" in the highway ride of the car which is inevitable, but how much do you lose? The roads around here aren't particularly terrible but they aren't top quality (thanks US Gov't) so it's not too much of an issue, but I don't want to feel like I don't have a suspension at all.
Also, the stock rims I have are the 17"x7.5" in front and 17"x8.5" in rear. OZ has 18x7.5 and 18x8. Can you fit the same width tire on the 18x8 as you can with an 8.5" width rim?
I was hoping these two mods would be "fairly" cheap and give the car a rad look and improve already great cornering without murdering me on the daily.
I've also seen front lip splitters, rear spoilers, and diffusers installed on some members cars and they look great but they tend to be on C350s. Are those mods interchangeable between the C350 and C250?
Any and all information, links, and comments are greatly appreciated!

2015 C250 Coupe
I found this:

Does anyone have experience with this product or company? Are they good? $360 is a pretty penny but it's the only one I've found yet that claims to fit the 2dr C250
