here are the pictures. my dad saw the car when he stopped by work and realized the car was lower. i thought he would yell at me for spending money on mods, but instead yelled at me for paying someone else to do it when he could have taught me to do it. love my dad. so now i'm installing the camber arms this weekend myself and getting an alignment done next week.
might have to save up some extra money incase some sort of issue comes up with the thing above ^. Really want to know what that was. if it happens again i'm going to be so upset that i just blew hella money and ended up with a problem...

Jerkin

i think the funny thing about that is that i never thought of it haha

Looking super clean with the drop Jerkin Yeah installing suspension isnt TOO difficult, you and your dad could have done it together with the right tools. As for the random CEL's and such. . . ummm it could have been a random misfire, hook up an OBD 2 and see if you pull up any codes and report back.

Jerkin

haha first i got to buy the obd 2 im about to go take a pic of a current night shot and post it up. i'm waiting for my dome lights to come in

CoupeCrazy03

You can usually rent them from Autozone or something. No need to buy one really.

Jerkin

sounds good. i'll probably do that this weekend or friday after school.

a nice lexus rolled up to the shop i was getting my coils installed.
thought it was worth posting up.
i posted a pic of my garage lights, but i need to actually use a real camera for a night shot haha.

Mine has the AMG pack. I cant check now as its still at the dealers but I didnt see any AMG badges. I was thinking about putting one on the back but even before reading this, I decided... no.

Jerkin

you can go ahead and do it if you want. be aware of haters but don't be afraid of them.

anonymousmoose

Oh yeh, I know I can. But I prefer to keep it standard when I think about it.

MIKESV8

They can actually check for free.

Jerkin

i'm definitely going to ask the autozone people how to hook up the obd 2. but when i hook it up... should an error message just display if there is one.. or do i have to go on a witch hunt for it?

Jerkin

should i just ask the autozone people if they can check my system with an obd 2? or am i going to have to pull something sneaky like you did with that cop about your window tint?

Jerkin

Okay. So my display says it's an esp malfunction. I noticed the inside of t
he front tires are rubbing against the coil or the strut. It's hard to tell. Will this be fixed with an alignment? Damn this is becoming consistent during a drive.

CoupeCrazy03

An alignment should help a little but you may need to run some 5mm spacers too. Do you hear them rubbing when you drive?

So, we're talking about MISTER Mehoff?
he he...
hey the CO's look nice.
What did you pay out the door?
Getting the height right the 1st time would be all but impossible on
CO's. Best to have someone who's done it before.
I guess you're local, who did the work?

Jerkin

I turned my wheels all the way and put a straw in between the close contact. And it seems to be a hair from actually touching.

Jerkin

A shop called ren motor sports.. Just checked and the CO and tire are like half a straw width away.

That's just Xhale dont listen to her he smokes ClS's like nothing and gets thumbs up all around town .... you can do whatever you want to you're vehicle

havoc_vulture

Mehoff you're drop is nice what's next on you're list of mods after the camber arms ?

C230 Sport Coup

I take it you have TEIN basics? Or did you pop for the SS's?
Typically it's difficult to get the rears up the proper height.
BTW- they will settle, does the install cover the follow up appt.?
I have my rears as high as they could possibly go.
Any weight in the rear causes them to tuck.

I recall something about, they were going to redesign the springs.
Are you as high as you can go or is there a little room to spare?

C230 Sport Coup

Were you addressing Mehoff Jr. or Mehoff Sr. ?
Oh, I really just cannot help myself today...
I feel like a giddy school girl watching old episodes of Bevis & Butthead
or the Simpsons.

Jerkin

Issue resolved. Thank god.
So all of the sensors were acting up and causing all of these crazy issues. Some I didn't even mention because I simply cannot describe them. But.. My friend's dad that is a mechanic scanned everything and hella sensors went off. It was due to the person not screwing the ground fully back on or purposely unscrewing it. I don't know if they had to unscrew that bolt to install coils but I think I just avoided sabotage haha

Jerkin

I settled for the basics because I didn't understand the reason to get the ss. And I didn't think it was pointless I just straight up saw no reason to get them for so much. Lol.

The guy said mine are actually as low as they could go and I was a but surprised but it is a good height. And he didn't schedule a follow up. It is things like that... That is just why I'm not going back.
But now I need to find a place that will install my puddle lights, because today I have truly learned not to play with mercedes electronics. I played enough with my old eclipse.. No more.

Jerkin

no i don't actually hear them while driving. doesn't make any annoying weird noise. hopefully would get even further away once i do the alignment

Jerkin

oh just remembered the ss teins have the damber adjustments... yeah i figured i won't be messing with it and probably just keep them at one level so i didn't drop the extra money and hoped that i liked my damper...

umm... the teins did cost about 1100 i believe and i spent 400 on the labor.. and just paid my friends dad 20 bucks to run a full ecu scan and rescan it after the ground was screwed completely on.... and it turns out my only fault is the new deck but the scanner says it can be ignored
