Question 2003 C240 mod help needed.

hey pros,
im a newbie here. i have a mb c240. stock 2003. black on black. im thinking of doing some mods on it and was wondering if i could get some help/advice from more experienced people. im thinking of getting an amg kit from duraflex and was wondering if anyone has used their products before and have had any problems with it? was their fitment good or did it require alot of work? and i was thinking of gettin 19's but i didnt want to use low profile tires because i live in chicago. so if i get 18's with all season tires, will i have any room for a drop? thanks alot in advance.
it would be great if you could post some pic so i can got some ideas.
THANKS

-Suhail

welcome to the forum,
check https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...hread-136.html to have some ideas (body kits, wheels..)
you will always have a room for a drop
check the classified secion for some brabus/amg body kits, it would save you money & fitment problems..

aftermarket bodykits will never fit like OEM....
i'd try to find used AMG bumpers instead of reps for similar price...

Yeah, used AMG bumper would be better IMHO

What kind of drop are you looking for? lowering springs/COs? Slamming it or decent drop to lose the gap?

I don't see why you would have a problem lowering your car with 18s and A/S tires? 225/40/18 & 255/35/18 or non staggered?

Sorry, but this is a MB forum and not a GovernmentMotors forum. You have to pay to play.
