lowering car
i feel like the front of my car sits a lot higher than the back of my car. is there anything i can do to change that? around how much would it cost? i've attached some pictures that show how much space there is in between the tires and the car in the front and the back. i don't know if it matters or not, but i have a 2001 c320 and these are not the rims that originally came with the car. thanks guys.

I really don't know who designed the C320.. But the retard was high or something.. Or just LOVE RIDING HIGH.. The c320 Rides so high its not even funny..
I would get some H & R's and drop that baby...for around 250$ new
Mine is UGLY just like yours without a drop..

Just an FYI.. You should get your side bars painted.. I don't know the name of them.
But yours is color faded.. It will make the car look some what new again.. Or even upgrading to the new 2005.. Half chrome and half black i think.. Which i plan on doing soon.

often newbies are told to STFF, but its not easy to read 50 pages looking for a small fitment question.

You can get away with spings only. im running H&Rs with Koni Strus/shocks but the drop is uneven looks like a wider gap up front, the best you can do is a set of COs, but those are expensive.

Somebody should chip in to actually answer your question which i think the obvious answer is no.IMO is going to look like crap.

this is pretty much exactly what i want. i want the front to be exactly the same height as the back already is so that it looks even.
