Question PLANNING ON PUTTING 18's ON A COUPE HOW DOES IT LOOK NOT LOWERED IS THIS GOOD ??????

I plan on putting a set of 18's on a coupe might do staggered. People was mentioning that 02-04 Coupes are lower than C230 Sedans. Im not for sure which models. I seen C230 Sedans 03-04 but It appears that the 05 is lower to the ground. But can someone confirm that 02-04 coupes are lower than the 05 Sedans ? My coupe is already low with stock suspensions. I would like to know if 18's without a drop will look good. Prehaps can someone post pics with 18's on a coupe not dropped. Is this a good Idea ? I can put new springs on it but since its already low and you can get bumper scrapes Im not for sure if its worth it. Please give me some feedback. Thanks

Lower the car. You'll have a car that is simply up too high from the ground. I went to 17's and the gap was so unsightly.

Well, there are a couple of reasons you haven't gotten many responses:

#1) You didn't even bother to search first and bring up an old thread that discusses the same topic and there are several to choose from. So instead, you tried the "easy" way and started a new thread. I've gone ahead and did one search for you:

Search keyword "18's stock suspension" in w203 forum only:
https://mbworld.org/forums/search.php?searchid=1511510

#2) Seems like you didn't even look at this thread:

How to search this and other mbworld forums.
https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w203/40222-how-search-other-mbworld-forums.html


Just tryin' to help you out, so don't be offended by what I'm sayin'. It makes a big difference when people don't start threads that are basically re-posts of multiple threads on the same topic.

Suggest you try and go through the picture sticky at the top of the forum.
