04 C230 RAYS 19/9 19/10 TEIN BASIC REMUS
The Place I got my wheels at is F1 Motorsports in N.Hollywood and they quoted me $845.00 for the tein and $150.00 for the install ( very cool shop lot's of stuff to drool over) .I may buy the Remus exhaust on ebay seems like the cheapest $285. front $635. rear (shipped) and theres this muffler shop in Reseda that does great work .It's a cool shop because they don't lift your car you just drive over his pit and BAM! it's done.

Thats funny I almost fell out of my chair too when I called them too. Those prices i quoted earlier were all fixed rates regardless of install time. There were a few like evosport who charge by the hour.
I Pm'ed you with the place and number where I got mine installed. I would recommend them.

F1 Motorsports? Damn, they're usually pretty pricey also.

Trying to visualize where that is exactly, but that's good to know. Reseda area has a few good shops.

I appreciate the compliments guys.
Yeah, the installer showed me how to adjust them with just my fingers. I was surprised how easy it was.
Thanks man. I went with 18's. I didn't want the ride quality suffering too much especially going back to school this fall where the roads are ****ty.

i personally think that 18"s are perfect esp if you live near a place with potholes even though i do like the look of 19"s with a drop 18"s look real clean not too big and perfect size plus the ride is still nice. i also have 18's

They look great! Nice wheels too.
Give the springs a little while to break in, and try
different settings on the shocks.
I'm currently running 11 clicks from stiffest on the front, (it gives just enough when hitting small bumps and going in and out of driveways etc.)
and I think 10 from stiffest in the rear.
Thats turn the adjusters as far to the right as they'll go, then count backwards. See how that works for you.

The springs will settle, you'll need to adjust the CO's within a month or so.
16 and 20? Wow, that would be pretty bouncy. Try setting them a little tighter, and maybe you won't bottom out.
Also re: setconstr original comments...
FYI- You don't really need the front resonator, just the rear muffler.
