My W203 Lowered pics

I second that question. Nismo, are you running oe shocks with the kleeman's?
The front of the after picture looks *almost the same as the before one IMO. The front should drop a little bit more due to weight and "settling" but not much. Pads for the rears is what I've been hearin' to get the same drag c/o as before.
Texas roads would eat a Mercedes that low for breakfast and look for slammed Honda's for dinner.

i m running OE shocks. I think i have past the settling stage and it still looks the same. The front did dropped, by about 20-30mm, it is just that it doesnt look as obvious as the rear.

Well NISMO502 car looks lovely, I'm just wondering what you dropped the car by? Was it the same drop front and rear or did you go for a bigger drop on the rear. Love the wheels
I wanted to go for these but there is a few cars goin round with these were I live so wanted to be different

Pads are essentially spring spacers. Thicker ones raise the car and thinner ones lower it. Nismo needs to raise the tail or lower the front. See my comments above.

I love your pic too. I feel the same way but what tires where you on with this? I have 18's and some kumho all seasons and it does not do any traction in the snow. Its horrible and I want to find some other tires that can do it.

Way cool pic.
How about some Photoshop folks, do a little Mad max on this...and put it in c24's thread.
Back the Kleeman springs, nice.
I've always heard they give a nice ride.
