Pic of Lowered w203 Ground Clearance HELP!
Can someone help me out and take a pic of the ground clearance under their w203 that is lowered? Please post what type of setup you have as well..
I'm contemplating whether or not to get the lowering kit, because I make trips to indiana regularly and have to drive on 75, 65, and 24... These roads are O.K., i traveled them before with my monte carlo that was lowered and it was alright, but the mercedes is something I dont want to play guessing games with.
Please help me!

ugh... there is an after market wheel/suspension thread... plenty of pictures and details of what tires/wheels/suspension they are using ..... and you can see the ride height just fine.

This is the closest I have...
I tried to look through all my pics to find a better one, but this is the closest pic I have that'll show ground clearance.
I have the TEIN Super Street Prototypes for the C230K SS.

Get some OEM 2004.5+ sport springs. I think Anthuny85 is still selling his. I put a set on mine and i'm happy with the clearance. Check the aftermarket wheel thread for pics.

thank you very much, those angle shots are exactly what i wanted to see. There is quite a bit of clearance.. Thats got to be my next mod, coil overs and springs, or just coil overs? Do i need both? I'm retarded

Coilovers come with everything, Shocks and springs, and are height adjustable, and some coilovers are height and ride adjustable

sweet it already looks so close in the rear, i have 265 width... If i lower it i think it will rub the fender... What about AMG springs? Is that any lower? I figured oem would be better

EDIT: Rubbing will depend on your specific wheel setup. There are many lowered W203's with no rubbing on 265 width tires, but others who rub with thinner tires because the offset and/or with of their wheels is not ideal.

wow that is sweet do you scrape often? I like your center caps. I'm guessing they aren't mercedes wheels, but what size cap worked? I'd like to get one similar instead of the ugly adr aluminized non chrome center cap
