I drive a Toyota Hybrid...
Here's what I've understood so far for this thread:
There is an order to this:
1) XsuperbeeX <-- Won't be back till Aug. OP might not have car towards late July
2) ??? <-- no idea
3) Me <-- confirmed by OP
4+) ... Better get in line
And the deal works somewhat like this:
Meet Up Kira in SJ or a place where both agree.
So far, Sonics is where Kira has recommended to me.
So it's
Your (Buyer's) $500 + Stocks + Labor for the switch
For
Kira's (Seller's) Bilstein PSS9's.
**Is hoping first and second in line default out

, you could say you are lucky, but i got couple things i want you to make sure1. your car is a C280, is it 4matic?? if it is you are out of luck
2. i was looking up on tirerack 2006 MB C280 i don't see any suspension mod poping up so let's hope some MB guru can help clear things out...
i don't think is big difference since we all use similar chassis but still wanna be 100% sure before we start the work bilstein PSS9 part number (F4-GM5-8860-H0) same for 2002 coupe and 2002 sedan
3. SonicMS is first i have in mind but if you do know any shop that can do it cheaper get a quote first and see if its within your budget.

I don't really want to lower my car a ton, but I like the idea of C/O's.
I currently don't like how my car kind of... shifts to a side going through even freeway turns =/
Either way. If it goes down to me (because the other two people flaked), I'll most likely go through with this.
I plan on going up to 19's later, so the gap shouldn't be too big
Two fingers is fine with me. As long as it's not a whole Fist, like it is now
EDIT::
1) It's a C280, not a 4matic. Regular RWD.
2) I really don't know this either. Help very much so appreciated guys!
I believe the C240 is just the older version of my car? Pre-06 / facelift?

it's about 1 finger front and back for the lowest setting on pss9. the pss9 like the kw's has big perches for the springs up front as well, so make sure you get +30 offsets if you are going 19". the suspension will fit fine on the C280.

Thank you Frank. +1
Members like you make me love this forum so much more than others.
And if it's my turn to go through with it, and if I ever want to get rid of it I will let you know =]
Just waiting for Kira to confirm.
PM me if it's my turn
EDIT:
So with my current stock wheels it should work too, right?

Hahaha. Understood.
Maybe he'll mysteriously come back into the country and buy them
That would be -->
(superbee on the left, and me on the right, hahaha)
Btw: Question:
They'll work with my stock wheels right?
I linked to a picture before. Stock set-up, I don't really know much about offsets, and 19x8.5 or 19x9.0, etc, or whatevers.
I understand that 19 means 19", but what does the 8.5, 9.0 refer to?
And tires. Why are there 3 different numbers? xxx / xx / xx ?

8.5 and 9.0 refers to width.
tires: width in mm/ aspect ratio to the width/ rim size.

ok lemme use my 19inch wheels set up as example
front 235/35/19 19X8.5
235= width of the tire
35 = profile (height of the tire)
19 = diamemter of your rims
since my 19inch setup is "Staggered" means front and rear wheels has different sizes like the Plymouth Prowler is an obvious example ( http://www.seriouswheels.com/pics-19...-shoreline.jpg )
REAR 265/35/19
you get the pics
19x8.5 and 19X9.5 is the size of your rims, they are different compare to tires
there is one more
Offset... really important and i don't even really sure how u measure that...
NM pretend u didn't read my post

Thanks for the clarifications!
19x8.5:
19" Rim
8.5" width
Then 245/35/19:
245 width in mm's for tire
35 would be how tall (height) in mm's of the tire: profile
19 is the rim diameter in inches
Thanks for the clarification guys.
Offsets mean?
How would I find out for sure to make these c/o's Not rub?
What and how would I provide the necessary information?

I think Kira's family will not have the car past July, or late July.
And you won't be back until August 1st...
So really, he has to run it by you, like... can you set something up with him to do the trade before August 1st?
Otherwise...
THEY'RE MINE!
Lol?

Here's what I've calculated to help others out.
I called sonicms:
250$ per car to do the swap
Total: $500
80$ per car alignment
Total: $160
So that's 660$ alone just to swap stuff properly
And add on 500$ for kira
I'm preparing to do this, but depends on a few things

DIY Suspension = $30 for beer lol!
Hotel for the weekend and pocket money maybe $400 (its a tedious job and i cant not just make the turn around)
then the 500..
simple but impossible for now.. thats why if you do end up finding your stock and swap them yourself ill pick them up right away.
