Just wondering if anyone has pictures of their lowered sport sedans.

Thanks

You won't find too many sport sedans on here yet since they just came out, but I would compare it to the ride height of the coupe. They are very similar, if not the same. So look for some lowered coupes and just imagine it with 4 doors.

Also, incase you don't know this. I realize you are deciding between the 230 and 320 sport sedan. If the ride height is important to you, you should know that the 320 sits significantly higher. If you saw the two side by side, it would be very easy to see the difference.

No, I can't. I have no idea why, but it's quite a difference. I guess maybe it rides smoother and that's what they wanted for the 320.

Just to clarify, are you talking about the new 2003 C320 Sport Sedan (2003 sports package) or the previous sports package (i.e. 2001-2003)? I have a 2001 C320 with the sport package and I used the H&R cup kit to drop the car and to improve handling.

I am talking about the new 2003 C320 sport sedan. It sits higher than the new 2003 C230 sport sedan. Although the new 320 sport might be at the same height as the old 320 sport, because they sit kinda high too.

i just finally broke my sedan in........ I was thinking about lowering it....just out of curiosity... is there a method that won't affect my warranty and might even be covered under warranty (ie. mb parts?) ?

Yes...I wonder if my MB dealer would install the Eibach springs for me ?? I'm guessing they would for about $500 !!!!!

if they can't prove that your aftermarket parts cause the damage....they can't void the warranty....it's just as simple as that.
