The first mod i want to do is drop it, i like a really good to agressive drop do you guys recomend just springs or full coilovers. Of course im trying to watch my pocket. BTW sorry bout the poor pic i havent really taken a nice shot of the car yet.

More pics please! If your not looking to do a whole new coilover set up, I recommend the Tein S Tech springs. Picked them up off ebay for about $200. Looks great too

I have a c240 and it dropped 1 inch in the back and a little over 2 inches in the front. They don't effect the ride much either.
