new to the 202

hey guys i had a old 202 sitting around and i decided to fix and spice it up a little bit i got a couple of questions i hope you all can answer!

first off what are some good springs or coilovers and what is a good place to get them?

secondly what are some flush offsets for both the front and the back?

third what kind of kit is this?



and lastly.... this is a really noob one but what is the lug pattern? 5x????

thanks and i hope i will have a good time and get along with all of you!

usu 5 on 112 is MZB (5lug 112mm spacing) biggest prob is usu the offset of the rim in relationship to the brake caliperz or body clearance...go w/ a really lowpro if running lgr. dia. rimz...goodluck

The rims looked like 19" Carlssons but the kit is a Brabus (genuine or replica that I don't know.

Offset (i believe) are ET37. Springs that I recommend are HnRs (one i'm using).

As kalicocat mentioned, prior to making a rim purchase, seriously consider the calipers, rim offset and size. This is to avoid rubbing fenders and the like.

Good Luck!

the rims are carlsson 1/6 i know because i have them on my lexus.

The kit is nice i am planing to go for either the brabus or the wald kit. does anyone know a good site that i can order either of the two?

and as for the offsets ill figure it out.. just tell me the stock offsets for a 84 c220!

and my driving habits are quite good considering i have 2 lexus that give off the same image as the brabus 202. I call it the "down and out style" down low and wheels sticking way out! .. on a bike its a different story

thanks

Have you been to www.club202.com? That site is much more active nowadays. Many of those guys have very tricked out body kits and Im sure can direct you in the right direction.
