Thanks! I haven't known these rims are included in sport package. I've a general avantgarde edition, I've bought the car with these wheels.
I have to see the sensor cable in the door, because the summer opening doesn't work. I think, the previus owner replaced the door lock , and probably now it's working with UK version front left door lock (without infra sensor wiring)

I am new to the mbworld and wanted to ask a few things. i have a 2001 c320 wagon and want to lower it to clean up the 3 inc of space in the front and the little in the rear. My number one problem is i have a wife and 2 young kids ( 3 a 5 years of age) that ride in it. i want to lower it but don't want to kill the way it feels going over a bump. what springs are good to clean up the look and not kill the ride? i want to stick to a full spring and not coil overs. any help would be great. also going to install 17 and slk55 brake kit front and back.
thanks
thanks

H&R street coil overs is the only way to go, mine rides perfectly not harsh at all, its how the car should have been from the factory, keep in mind that they are not bump rebound adjustable, only the spring height is is adjustable, i was scared i would ruin the ride of the car to before I ordered them but I'm super happy with the outcome, and they are inexpensive.
I went with the H&R Cup Kit. It lowered it nicely (see previous post in this thread), but the Cup Kit also firmed up the ride. It's fine since this is now my DD. If you like the ride quality of the OEM set up, I don't recommend the Cup Kit.
I looked back at some of my previous post on this thread and I said that when I took over this car from my wife, that I'd have a new stereo, quad tips, and tint...done just have to install the tint.
Shout out to Mr. Locati.

Hey Greg and All,
I'm kind of considering swapping out the MB for something else, but then I remember...all money goes towards the kids (you know what I'm talking about ).
I thought maybe an Audi S4 with a manual...early 2.7TT or the later V8's. I'd love a V8, but they are about 500 lbs heavier than the TT. Plus the TT can be tweaked that much easier. If I got a V8, it'd have to be a 6spd or at least have the padlle shifters. I've only driven one paddle car (Ferrari 355 and that was years ago). Then I thought maybe a E39 540iT, but those only came auto, but I've heard of some that have swapped in a 6spd. Then I thought...how about a 6spd in the C320...what do you think?

Henry- haven't checked in here in ages- just seeing your posts...Wagon looks great ! Glad to hear the wagon stays until the wheels fall off. Same plan for me. Need a bigger house. Hit me up next time you're in P town.

MBWorld Fanatic!
WAGON rear bottom seat cushion into a SEDAN!?
YES! That is what I wanted...an Avant-Garde/Sport Wagon/Estate...the Dealer looked at me like I had two heads...then they looked at me like I have three heads when I said MANUAL Transmission.
Very nice machine!
Anyway...
Does anyone KNOW if a station wagon rear bottom seat cushion can be directly fitted to a sedan? Is the floor stamping, mounts and other points up to the intermediate pad the same? Can someone please post images of your rear seat bottom in detail, folded up, underneath the seat and the metal seat bottom?
Thank you all,
Jake

Here's a few pics of my new wheel change out. Ditched my powdercoated TSW Crofts and the black/white "stormtrooper" look and put some Bremmerkraft BR05's on. Staggered fitement: 18"x8" -32ET front and 18"x9" 35 ET Rear. Had the first batch show up with the fronts noticeably darker than the rears. I am assuming the wider rears came from a different lot. All the same, Tirerack sorted it out and sent me matching front color wise.

What's up, wagon peeps?
I picked up this '02 C320 back in November '14 as a practical replacement for my MX5 / Miata.
Bought a whole bunch of parts right away, too...but haven't had time to get them installed for 3+ months. But now the work has finally begun!
Aloha from the land of white sand beaches & coconut trees...^0^
