We should be done with this one tomarrow. The customer wanted yellow calipers; Silver car seems a little loud to me.

Is there anything to look out for when changing the springs on an MB?

YES! Make sure you know what you are doing, or you may have a spring hit you in the face.

Thanks for the head up, but i do have spring compressors, so that departments taken care of. I'm just more concerened with the entire assembly. My friend and I changed the springs on his sisters RSX today and that thing was a pain in the ***. The drive shaft pops out when changing the spring and take a good time to get back in. I was just wondering if there is anything along those lines to look out for.

The kit comes with the front struts and springs assembled. The install is fairly simple. You shouls not have a problem if you have done other cars before.

The spring struts and shocks cost around $1425.00 and come assembled in the front. The brake set is $995.00 per corner and comes with every thing you need includeing SS lines. I have found this set up works well on the C-Coupe I have personally tried three set ups and this one is the best of the three.

Randy, does this brake setup require 18" wheels, like the others you tried? Info those who are contemplating a brake upgrade need to know so they can plan the total cost.

The brake kit will fit on the stock 16" rims I will mount them tomarrow if I have time just to try it out. I know they fit the C-7 rims.
