I have my C230 lowered with Koni springs and shocks with #1 pads all around. The wheels are 19x8.5+31mm in the front. I am having the hub pad milled down so it will be a +35mm offset. I have a fender roller and will be rolling the fenders. Right now I can't even turn the wheel more than 1/8 of a turn before it rubs on the fender. Is the offset change and rolled fenders going to be enough to get enough steering angle to drive or am I going to need to lift it some. Any suggestion are welcome. I would love to keep it at this height. Rhyi and Ruzhkata how do you roll so low?

you could switch back to thicker pads and cutting coils..

if ever you did that, im still looking for a pair of 5mm (#1) pads..

The #1 pads are less than $8 each from the dealer.

I suggest put #4 pads to lift the car, that way you don't have to do a fender roll.

Make sure you use a heat gun when rolling the fenders. I would pull them out a little too.. I suggest you just get bigger pads on the front and rear. Something like #2 front and #4 rear.

I'm running #1 pads on the front and stock pads on the rear.

Sorry, but looks like someone stole your springs..... Too low IMO

Naw, that's a pretty good stance. I would say 5mm higher and spacers...

It's a Mercedes, not a Honda or Chevrolet. I promise I'm not trying to be rude. I just think that Mercedes does a wonderful job with the height of their cars.
