For any information on the w203, please reference the AFTERMARKET/DIY sticky. Lots of useful threads to bump from past years.

even if i paid double what i would for tein basics, i only get like another .3 inches
tein basics is probably what i'll go for and i'll put em on the lowest settings haha

cut springs?
I know the car wont ride the way it should but i was just wondering if any body on here has a pic of a W203 with the springs being cut?
If so how much was taken off( front / rear), also let me know if you cut the factory springs or if you cut the lowering / aftermarket sport spring if you installed them. I have seen some on here in the classified section for sale and they were cut?
I know there is going to be a bunch of hating for for this post and i know the answer is to get coilovers but i just want to see if it has been done because my search didnt really turn up any answers that i am looking for, thats all.
cheers
