with that ride height you OBVIOUSLY don't have lowering spring OR coilover. It's also obvious that is a left over badge from your C when you had the TEIN basic.

ED sticker on the bodykit = tacky even if the kit is from ED.

LMAO

and hey, you asked for "WHAT DO YOU "THIN?"" and I'm telling you what I "thin".

I've never liked the way those cars look. No offense, but I would have kept the C230.

I like the 430 - nice car, but I think its just too small for men. I think its too much of a chick car IMO...

the sc is nice...

different demographic than c230, but its baller in its on way. i think you should get bigger rims and coilovers to fill that wheel gap.. its painful to look at. otherwise, i'm a fan of the car.

i've test driven it and consider it as more of a comfort cruiser though... too smooth and comfortable for me, but it all depends on what your lookin for.

nice to know what w203 owners move on to!

Nice choice! I've driven my friend's Sc430 and it's nice and quick! Love the hardtop convertible. Great choice. Nicely modded ones look good.

Never been a fan of the newer SC either.. no offense but IMO Lex screwed up on the design on this. All other Lex cars are awesome tho.. I would have gone with the IS or GS. LS would be great.

not a fan of the sc430, imo that car was a total flop. i drove one a few times during the summer and it definitely feels like a chick car. the v8 feels a lot slower than it should be.

the sc has horrible reviews all over the internet too

Hmmm, so what does the "wify" think of this change?

https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...t-ma-wify.html (this is a classic ownage thread)

Is it now her car also? That might explain owning a "girlie" car.

these dont look half bad...problem is their 1/100000000000 these mods are not something easily done or realatively cheaply...they pretty much are completely custom...essentially they're no long sc430s at this point...but i do respect you defending your car, it is your car and nobody elses so good luck with it and enjoy it why dont ya! lol
