you must have misunderstood me. I said those two WHEEL companies, ADR and ASA are low quality wheels, ASA, made in korea, and ADR I have no clue. I'm saying, they are suitable for those LIGHT WEIGHT japanese cars.

it has nothing to do with TEIN. TEIN is a high quality company.

Oh so Tein is not a Japanese company? I haven't heard many people get those for a Benz, just Bilstein, H&R, etc.

it really depends on your riding style. I personally like riding on teins, my homie has h&r on his bimmer, now upgrading to k&w. lets see how that feels. Also, many of our pro-suspension members reccommend TEINs

C230 coupe, nothing special :)
Another coupe surfaces
Im just looking for that tight suspension feeling. Less roll, and more agressive in corners. The stock springs are having trouble with my spirited driving.

Tien seems to be the way to go. What about Eibach? I may lower it for now untill I can afford some coil overs. I need 1.7 drop in front and 1.0 in back.
