how hard is this to do yourself? I don't want rear springs. I checked out eibach but the only sell a set. What is the story with the 'pad system'? could I just do that? i need about 1 inch off the front.

W203 SUPERCHARGED
Rumbling Noises While Driving Over Bumps or On Bad Roads
Hello,
i want to change on the front axle the upper and lower wishbones on my C200 supercharged W203 which built in 2001 with 86000 km.
Has somebody an illustrated guide for the installation?
Thanks and regards,
II6

I have a set of H&R Coilovers matched with a set of 18" Brabus replicas and currently have the front ride height set to about 4.5 turns from the lowest setting... I have about a finger and a half gap between the wheel and the fender...
For the guys that are really low... what are your current settings on the coilovers...

John,
FrankW told us about your set up. Won't you post back & front & three quarter pics - Must look great with all that rubber. I'm going AMG style wheels on mine but I'm still faffing waiting for an exchange rate improvement. The wide rims on the front must look great. My intention is to run 245 rear 235 front on 8.5 & 8.0
