I like the rear kit with the dual exhaust. Dropped a little too low, tho. I would drop mine a little lower, but would probably get jacked in the snow. Thinkin about switchin to coilovers when the come out so I can adjust them.

H&R's are a little lower than Carlssons

The H&R setup on the C32 is a bit lower than Boo's Carlsson setup. Same price. Both look better than stock AMG. Both work better than stock AMG for slalom, and are a little worse for speedbumps and crappy potholes etc.

That slammed benz is looks over performance for sure.

Choose your poison.

It's bad to buy coilovers so you can adjust the height up and down for looks. Adjusting the height too much will affect the alignment and mess up your tires so you'll need an alignment after.

i agree, but im thinking of upgrading to the coilover kit from carlsson because i will change my rims back in the winter as ohios roads get pretty bad. then i can raise it up a little without having too much work done to it as well as easily switch it back in the summer.

Actually guys, the 1st and 2nd pic are c240, the dude install a coilover kit from carlsson and thinking it wasn't low enough so he cut the spring. just for the information, he replace the standard seat with momo corse bucket seat. He also has awesome audio install.

not off hand, but a little too heavy for my liking. im thinking of changing the gear ratio and adding a pully to help a little with the slowdown, but i decided to finish the outside first, then the inside, than the engine. i love the looks the big wheels get and its almost done, complete with the new exhaust and back kit. pics will be up in a week or so.... i'm excited!!

btw, what do you guy think of the front of that kit??? im debating on whether or not to order it to match the back i got or not. quite honestly, it looks a little to ricey for my, but i absolutly love the four pipe chrome carlsson exhaust and HAVE to have it. also, yeah you do have to buy a whole new foglight assembly to make it work, its pretty taxed. just curious on yours guys opinion.

also how the hell can a coil kit not be low enough that you need to cut it??? are you kidding me, i live in ohio and would bottom that thing out on every railroad crossing in the city.

i also thought the whole purpose of a coil over kit is to be able to adjust the ride height with minimal effort and would not cutting the springs negate that effect??

anyone know how much that rs is tinted?

thanks for the help guys
