Never knew you could replace the coilover springs with another springs! Good To know.

That's insane (the aggressive fitment). It paid off really well. I should grow a pair and just start pulling my fenders and making my rears flush, instead of trying to get rid of the wheels. I like the way they look but I just didn't like how the front sticked out. Your wheels put me to shamed and made shut up about it poking out

Skankz -

You've sure got some mods planned for a car that I thought you were selling!?

And yes, Phi is the man.

SkankZ

Haha! It's a bad habit when I have money or offers that interests me.. I can't help it. I blame phil for his car, making me want to go do tuff to my car too! Basically whatever comes up first. I found rear bumper for my car but I need the fronts now.

So I got a chance to do a quick lowering, did another inch and my fenders are feeling it lol I was wearing down the liner, smelt like burning rubber on the highway. Gonna raise it up about 1/2"to clear. It was painful turning.

I_C_Class

Interesting style! I like it!

So here's some pics of the front dropped another inch. I have to roll the driver side fender now cause when I turn left its basically tire on fender and its pushing it out further. hopefully a little fender rolling and a "slight" rise and it should be ok to roll. I was scraping my lip on every dip and bump.





YES! thats a piece of the liner on the tire lol

kluvsbenz

Real low!!! It looks soo damn good that sometimes you want to ignore the rubbing

phister

lol true but I'm gonna "make" it work! just some rolling and a very very slight rise.

TruTaing

Roll the front, raise the rear to match! Call it a day! SOOO Sexy! I already feel bad for your front lip though! :P Great work my friend. Great work!

I may add your statement "YES! thats a piece of the liner on the tire lol" to my signature! That cracks me up! It looks tough, I just know that I'd destroy my car if I did that. However it is time for shocks, and I think that means it's time for coil-overs...

phister

ok raised the front just a hair, straightened up the camber just a hair, and rolled the fenders more. Finally got clearance from lock to lock. Had to straighten up the camber some because the inner tire was rubbing against my perch on the coilover. So that was the burning smell driving, made a pretty good groove in the tread. But I got it dialed up now so no more issues, HOPEFULLY, no rubbing sounds or smells on the test drive.

phister

coilover it up MIKE!!!

mskembo

If you still have the Tein's we need to talk...

I_C_Class

Considering that the rear fender is physically longer that the front, you're actually sitting perfectly flat, if not with a slight rake, in regards to front-back, arent you?

I've never seen a w203 so LOW!! And I usually don't like seeing them that low, but man Phi - you've really got a great combination going here. Looks phi-tastic.

phister

I actually do have a rake. I measured from the fender to the ground and it has a pretty good rake. If it was flat the front would be quite a bit higher.

RedStripe

Yeah, I figured - I mean, it sure looks like it has a rake if you ignore the wheel/fender gap (or negative gap in your case, lol).
I was just asking out loud about it because Tru kept asking to bring the butt back up in the air, but swore I was still seeing a rake if you ignore the fenders.

phister

It looks like that because of my camber in the rear. They tuck in the rear some so it looks deceiving. If I adjust my rear camber to the fronts it'll be pretty even and show as much tire as the fronts. But then it'll be full on rubbing in the rear. I gotta cut some liner off in front and rear or let the tires do the work.

So I can go from lock to lock without fender touching. I'll post a pic of my final setup later.

StillNDADIRT

I'd like to see some pics of the BC's mounted up in there

phister

it probably looks like your bc installed lol... I'll do it when I have time

StillNDADIRT

I haven't had time to finish installing mine yet because I'm working out of town right now. I just want to make sure i've got them adjusted right.

phister

They have so much adjustment its just up to you
