Hi. I'm a bit late to the party but here's my 2003 C200K. Custom violet pearl paint. KW Coilovers. AMG body. !0 x 17 rear and 8.5 x 17 front FYK ED3s. Facelift headlights & fogs.
What springs did you use? That stance is perfect! Do you have any rubbing with those wheels?
Thank you Mayze!
I never had rubbing. I had to check that before because of the german TÜV.
Installed are H&R springs that lower the ride 40mm (and still looks OEM).
In addition to the rear springs I changed the rear spring pads to a 17mm one (A 210 325 04 84) so that the back does not come too low. Makes it look more wedgy.
Regards
Oh, my car comes now with a rear cam and some carbon wrapping in the interior. \o/

Let's bring this thread back from the dead. Here's my 02 C320 rwd wagon with the following modifications:
23mm front 17mm rear sway bars from a C55
05 C230k sport front struts and and spings (1.5" drop)
KYB monotube rear shocks, stock spings and pads
10mm wheel spacers front, 20mm spacers rear
E500 312mm 4 piston front brakes
05+ headlights with bixenon projector retrofit
74mm m113 throttle body and MAF
19# M113 injectors
C230 three spoke steering wheel swap.
Hayden transmission cooler completely bypassing the radiator.
The suspension completely transformed the character of the car. Despite the narrow tires its really fun to drive on the local canyons. The only thing I still want to do to it is a 3.7L M112 swap eventually... maybe, if ever get around to it.
C230 Sport Coup + 2006 W164 ML350 + 99 Ford Escort (What the heck, it gets 38 mpg!)
Sweet! I love this thread. Hadn't read it for the last few years, so great to see these awesome W203 wagons.
Love the wheel swap tjts1.
I have a spare I got from picknpull on 1/2 price day,10 bucks! I need to refinish it, but
haven't gotten around to it,
You got the sport wheel with the nubs. Nice. Gotta have the nubs.
What color is that? Gawd, it's so dirty in the photo.

Wheel swap? I think these are the standard 16" wheels that came on every US market c240 and c320. All I did was install hubcentric wheel spacers to move the wheels out by 20mm in the back and 10mm in the front.
The color is called "opal black metallic. I think it was pretty common on the E and S class, less so on the C. It desperately needs a wash. Maybe this weekend.
Oh haha sorry, that didn't even occur to me. The steering wheel was the first thing I changed on the car. I hate the look and erginomics if the 4 spoke. The 3 spoke came off an 02 C230 hatch on eBay and cost me $100 total. I had to get the wheel and airbag from 2 separate sellers. All the buttons work.
Here is my '03 4matic. It is on H&R lowering springs with 18x8.5" +35mm AMG rep wheels. I have 15mm spacers in the rear. This is my first Mercedes (and my first Euro car) and I love it so much. It also has slotted and drilled brakes, a wrapped roof, HID headlights, and an aftermarket sound system. My plans are to do a resonator delete and swap the OEM muffler for a flowmaster or magna flow, swap the wheels for a new set (probable Niche or Rotiform), and eventually air suspension.
