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!

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
