Geometry
How much does dropping your car affect wheel geometry? Does the driving performance and feel change for the better or the worse?
I generally do not take turns at .85 G and most of my driving is highway and interstate. I like the comfort of a smooth ride and don't want to turn my car into a buzzing wreck. Also when I go down to Alabama to my farm I have to drive down a very rutted road. I don't want to tear the bottom out of the car.
So, "how low should you go?"

You think Alabama and SoCal is bad with potholes. Come down to NYC and see what we have in store for you 
I had a Nissan Maxima 03 before I got a C230 and I had JIC coilovers which were cool but the bumps and potholes took over my car. It felt very bouncy and horrible.

where were all of you San Diego Benzos for the 2nd Annual San Diego Summer MB/AMG Meet on July 9th !!
Make sure you stay tuned for next summer's huge event.
baodovvn, i think I saw you making a right onto Mira Mesa Blvd from Scripps Ranch Blvd,
while I was sitting across from you waiting to make a left onto Mira Mesa Blvd a week ago or so. I've seen quite a bit of nice appearance C-Classes running around Mira Mesa / Scripps lately. If you guys see my silver C-Coupé in AMG outfit, flash some lights !
