man, you REALLY need to start searching the forums. this thread is just a testament to how much you don't know about our cars... and also, to postwhoring and making incorrect/inaccurate statements like you have actual knowledge.

I would definitely NOT cut springs. I would spend the $300-500 for some decent springs, however, I'd spend the $1400 for a coilover set on somethin else....like a set of good tires or something.

Most places don't "require" you changes your struts/shocks for a <1.5" drop. You will wear them out faster then if you hadn't lowered it, but same goes for everything else on your suspension.

btw, have you SEEN a stock C32 in real life? have you even LOOKED at pics on the forum of stock C32's? have you read on the C32/C55 forum as to what springs they're going with? what would possess you to buy C32 springs thinking that they'd lower your car? just the fact that they're "AMG" springs? maybe you should have lowballed the other person who was selling their 07 springs, that would have lowered your car for sure.

it's not like i post alot of incorrect/inaccurate statements all the time
if you want, yo ucan search thru see if I post more than 3 inaccurate statements.
a lot of times I am asking questions, not making statement on those

oh yah, and yes, i've seen c32/c55 many times before, I am not looking to drop a lot that's why I didn't buy the tein springs initially.
I just want to get rid of that huge gap, so just need a max of 1" drop on the front.

just don't want to give myself a hard time driving it

I'm not going to search. I've called you out, Drex has called you out, other users have called you out. We all know you make incorrect/inaccurate statements FREQUENTLY.

you admitted it yourself!

so that means that you are fully aware that you do post incorrect/inaccurate statements. we can debate on the frequency, but I think it's quite often and I'm sure there are many others that are willing to back me up on that statement.

You're too new to know the history, but yeuchau has proven time and again that he is more interested in quantity over quality of his posts. This thread is another prime example.

Is your grasp of the English language that limited?

First, let's examine your statement.

So what were you exactly trying to say with this? From my understanding (and please don't try to say I misunderstood you because this won't be the first time you've tried to use that, see below) it means that you're stating that you DO in fact post incorrect/inaccurate statements, but not "all the time."

For example, when someone says, "it's not like I drink a lot of Jack all the time." That means that they do in fact drink Jack, but not large quantities of it ALL THE TIME.

It's similar to this thread where you're do admit that you give people "advice" on their cars:
https://mbworld.org/forums/classifieds/196616-wtb-w203-sports-suspension.html

Perhaps you should have taken the advice that was given to you in that thread and you wouldn't be in this situation with cutting C32 springs...

Next issue. We're not pissed from the tint thread, have you not gotten a hint? That thread was waaaaay after Drex and some other members called you out. People are well indeed annoyed by your posting and type of posting.

Now, let me start with something that you've become famous for--lowballing/telling people wrong prices, often times because of your own self interest:

1. Stock 07 Springs and 07 Grill, both for $30-80:
https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w203/200261-stock-springs-stock-grill.html

2. Custom Made "Rocket" Grill:

A prime example of what? We all know and you've been called out many times that you really don't know squat about the w203 (although you try to act like you do), yet you still continue to post *****. No need to argue that.

correction on the part that cut springs are bad. if you are only cutting half a coil the effect on spring rate is minimal. even guys like Chip Foose cuts the springs. The real problem is that you are already putting a shorter spring onto your stock shock which is designed with a longer travel. With the shorter springs you are constantly compressing the shock which it is working outside of it's normal range. Your shock will have shorter travel and easily bottoms out. The reason you get the sport shocks and spring combo is to have a shock system that has the same travel range matched for the lowering springs.

and yes...stock C32 springs FTL!! here's a old picture of mine.

Thanks Frank, you better explained what I was trying to say earlier and that picture definitely says a thousand words.
yeuchau: I'm not pissed about anything, but feel that it's time for you to stop acting like a noob. Good luck with that!

Whatever nlpamg said +1!...LOL

yeuchau,
Please READ this comment. I am giving you constructive criticism. In all the situations, think about who the common denomenator is (regardless of what thread you're posting in or starting). That's correct. The common denomenator is Yeuchau! That being said, just take a step back and realize that despite what you "think" you may know, you don't. Just the fact that you're bringing up cutting OEM springs is another story. I can think of a few times that I've called you out on mis-informing members of this forum and a few others where I just let you say whatever you were saying because if it messed up that person's ride, then you would have to answer for it, not me.

Everybody has made mention of what their recommendations were. Now it's just a matter of you going out and deciding. Nobody is going to decide for you. That's ALL on you. If you think that you're being "picked" on, then how about you THINK about what you are posting before you actually post it! Even if you are 100% sure about what you're posting, make sure you research it on the forums and gather your findings/statements to back yourself up and prove where you "learned" about it. Otherwise, you'll have to accept the consequences of mis-informing your fellow MB World members. And trust me, they won't be pissed at ME. They'll be pissed at YOU cuz they'll see your 2000+ posts and think that you know what you're talking about, when the reality is completely the opposite.

oh, i see
so it's not ok for me to say the grill is abit pricy for me
but it's ok for someone to say that I paid 100 for the exhaust and seems to be in better shape than what you selling.

not to mention people start sending me offers for like 100 shipped or less
oh yah, I said the grill is pricy for me, but I never tell anyone that don't buy it or trying to find a shop in Asia that can custom made one for you for much cheaper.

I just want to point that out, if it's not ok to say it's pricy for me, then why is it ok for someone to say I paid much less for certain product then what you selling now.

I am just giving example here, say if I found a place that can custom made that grill for like 150 each, and when people is selling 300,
