that's not bad at all. what springs did they use, H&R? I got quoted $350 from eurorev, but D2 has a better name, it's been around longer, and seems like it's a more quality place.

did you have to get an alignment after that? any camber kits (like the ones from speedybenz)?

thanks!

I got mine done at Sprewell in San Gabriel. In LA county. James, the tech there is amazing and does good work especially is you need fenders rolled.

The wheel supply has a vogtland spring/shock combo for $795 for the W203, but I havent seen anyone on here with that suspension. Any feedback or drop height difference between vogtland and H&R. Seems pricer than what everyone else was estimating?

if you're in San Diego, and just want to get good advice, without pressure to buy one product over another.... go to MBWerks in Kearny/Clairemont Mesa area.
They can show various set ups, ride some cars, and feel the difference yourself.
H&R, Eibach, CARLSSON, etc....

If you're looking at getting the work done in SD you can try Group5 Motorsport located on Commerce Ave off of Miramar Rd or MBWerks as Saprissa stated. Those are the only 2 places in SD I would let touch my car at this point.

Carlos / aka Saprissa (brill silver C320 Sport Coupé)

that's pretty good if it includes installation. They stand 100% behind all their work,
and if you've got the time, will sit down and explain/show each step of the process to you.
