love the wheels & the simple look of your car...

what is your spring setup, it looks lower than h&r or eibach, did you cut your coil or use coilover?

Thanks!
At the moment I just have the original springs compressed; 2.5 inch's on the front and 2 inch's on the rear. Its a VERY bumpy ride though, the 20x10 in the rears rub on every corner & bump. I cant have any passengers in the back either.
I am looking for coilovers though, hopefully that stiffens the ride up and fix's the problem!
Check out the wheel gap

Hey guys, long time lurker. Thought I'd finally contribute a little.

A little image of my baby completely stock (well, minus tint ).
Official C-Class Picture Thread-ikkau.jpg

2005 black on black C230K. 190k miles, Harmon-Kardon sound, bi-xenon, and nav package!

Took out the rear sunshade yesterday after it being stuck for the past 4 or 5 years. Gonna see if I can't fix that motor and gearbox tomorrow! But glad I finally got around to this. My tint was bubbling in the back and it looked horrible. Gonna get that fixed too, this week.

Official C-Class Picture Thread-sskq6.jpg
You can see the tint looks nasty... but the fresh wax and dew looked pretty damn good


Also plastidipped the front grille tonight. No pics yet, I'll get around to that after I debadge it tomorrow. Cheers

Damn 20x10?? Do you have any fender work? and coilovers definitely stiffen up your ride. Im on H&R coilovers and had springs before 100x better man. Hands down.

No major fender work done. The wheel shop just rolled my guards abit more and grinded my boot trim where it meets the wheel arch. They also had to machine the wheels a few mills to make it fit.
I love the way the front of your car sits. Do you have a full turning circle? When I do get coil overs I want my front wheel gap to be sitting like yours to the wheel arch, looks mint.

That's the fat 10 inch

More mods to come in the next year. Planning to do an engine swap during winter for a C55 or C32 AMG engine.

thats going to be a pricey swap since you'll have to figure out the ecu for the c32 or c55 to work with the 4matic, then i guess you'll just get the tranny for the swap and remove the 4matic on the car.

Let us know how it goes. I've been wanting to drop a C32 motor in my C320 wagon for a while.

There's one guy on here that's swapped a C32 engine into a 4MATIC. I don't see the C55 engine being possible though.
