Your rears just look SOO much lower than your fronts. lower the fronts a bit and raise the rear a tiny bit and itll be perfect. I bet you're street sweepin big time w/ your lip!PS - hows the rubbing up front?

Yeah, they Websensed MBWorld at work, and simultaneously have tried to work me to death. Also, I'm training for a bodybuilding comp, AND the MS150 (two completely different things I know). Anyway good to see this place is still alive!
We still need to hookup for some Vietnamese coffee!
I think I may have just found an OEM rack on here believe it or not! I've PM'd the guy so who knows this may just work out.

they're actually new high end condos that they're building by the river lol. there's only like 6 of them right now built. You have to buy the land first then build the condo. Think they start at 350k. We're renovating our bike and running trails around here. Gonna look really nice.

Phister, your car looks amazing with the CCW wheels on it.
I had my doubts at first, but this looks incredible. the wheels look so much better than imagened... keep it up ! stance = achieved , and that on a W203 !
ps: your car makes me want to mount my roof rack

Looks extremely sick! Good job
It just goes to show you that you can probably do anything if you dedicate the time and money!So what are the end specs!
You added spacers in the front on top of it being +26? And many degrees did you have to adjust for your front camber? Did you end up cutting a bit off your coil to go lower in the rear? Or it's different suspension.
I guess I shouldn't sell my HRE's and just pull my fenders and drop it more :P

sorry man... didn't get a chance to do them today. about to head to work soon and delivery guy just dropped off the boxes. I'll do them first thing in the morning when I get off of work. I might have to roll my passenger side front a little more, its rubbing just a tad on the fender liner so I'm getting little black bits of it on the panel when I do sharp turns. But worry I'll get it all straightened out and slammed.

I'm on BC coilovers with #1 pads in the rear. If your coilovers dont drop low enough for you I'd recommend ordering a set of swift springs or eibach springs to replace them. They offer custom coilover springs to your specs. Going to install my eccentric bolts and it'll give me 2 degrees of adjustment and I plan on going the full -2.
