2001 CLK320
Hi everyone...

I've been creeping around this site for atleast a year or so and finally decided to make myself known... I'm not every active in tuning my car (thats what the CRX and Accord was for back in the day), but theres alot of useful on these forums so I feel that its only right to give when taking... so heres what I'm working with...

2001 C320
Premium Package
and not sure what else

MODS:
Dronell 1 wheels, 19x8.5 all around
General Tires 235/35/19 all around (dont ask me why, I really didnt care)
some wack *** spacers I need to replace (non-hubcentric)
H&R Springs, cut 1 coil all around (still dont think the front is low enough)
and those "silver but blinks amber" turn signal bulbs all around (to remove the yellow look)

heres the bad boy...



this is a pic of one of the wheels... (nothing special but i like the way they spin)


i earned this about a year ago...


finally... my cut coil


My car has about 61k miles and just got it back from Penske in West Covina.
Heres what I had done...
replace spark plugs and wires
replace front thrust arm bushings
replace transmission and engine mounts
a nice... $1700
I declined the air and fuel filters... seems like it would be something i change do myself...
any input, criticism, props will be appreciated... I'm not very active so I apoligize in advance if I'm slow at responding to anything...

Welcome to the club! Pretty nice drop, but time to compliment those cut springs with koni yellows to save your ride.

I think the ride doesn't start to get too bumpy until you cut multiple coils. I had a half coil cut off my H&R cup kit front springs and there was absolutely no difference in ride quality. Back when I was poor (and/or cheap), my Accord was riding on cut springs and the ride was pretty darn good until the shocks started to go out.
