andy_meng1024's 4MATIC Lowered W203 thread

Finally I got my car lowered with H&R springs ordered from Germany. I attached some pictures I took right after my dealer installed them for me. Now I have the first and only W203 4Matic lowered w/ H&R in the US Also put on the new MRR GT1 wheels today.

Looks sick Andy.

I think I need to upgrade to the H&R springs, more of a drop up front. Hows the ride?

They don't sell it in the US so I had to order them from Germany.

The rims are 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 and tires are 235/35/19 and 275/30/19
The car runs great on snow since they are all-season tires and in Wisconsin they clean the snow pretty quickly.

I was debating myself when I was ordering the wheels. I love the black wheels on black cars, but I think silver with polish lips on black is more classy though.
