Suspension Question // In-Dash Question

Whats up guys? I've had my white 2002 c320 for almost 3 months now. I love it! All I've done so far is replace the grill (white w/ huge MB emblem), HIDs, blacked out clear headlights.

Seeing as my birthday is 2 weeks away I want to get some wheels and a double din in-dash. But I have some questions first.

- Will 19s fit if I lower the front 1.2 inches? The front end sits up way to high, but the back looks slammed. Will it rub in the back with 19s and people sitting there?

- What functions will I lose with a double din? Anything I need to keep an eye out for when installing/using it?

Also, how do I know when my car needs to have an oil change? The dealer said all the required check ups have been done.

Sup dude, Congrats on the white C320.

Just got my black one about 4-5 months ago. I was about to throw some rims on it soon but its gonna be going 18inch.. I don't want the ride quality effected to much.. Depending if you have the bose system or not the sound system install would be hard.. But you have a c320 i believe they all came with bose stock i could be wrong.. You got any pictures of your car?

congrats on the car!!

19's will fit, but there are a lot of factors you have to look out for. What type of wheel are you looking at? Make sure you get the right offsets, especially if you have the bbk up front. tire size is a factor too. It could rub in back just depends how low you want to go, or if you use springs vs coilovers. You can find all the info you need in the wheel, tire, and suspension thread. I know its a lot to read, but it helps out... or just post up specific questions, lots of people here who can help out....

As for stereo, depending on which head unit you want, you can keep all the functions...

Man, these are some nice birthday gifts...
