My DD, 2004 C230 Sedan

-Yakima roof rack system, holds 2 bikes
-35% tint all around (looks like 50% I guess because of the gray interior)
-CF trunk spoiler from Suvneer
-Ebay grill (I wish it was the 3 fin, but the cost was almost double)
-OEM W204 flat hood badge
-DDMTuning.com 55w 6k HIDs with error cancellors
-Pioneer AVH-P3300BT head unit
-Ebay clear bumber lights
-AZNOptics city lights @5k

Are these prefacelift C230s supposed to sit this high? Is it just the facelifted ones that sit low and have the crossdrilled brakes?

Yeah if you have just a 2004 model, this is normal. They got the cross drilled brakes and such at 2004.5 before the full facelift beginning in 2005 (for USDM).

Any suggestions on wheel spacers and longer bolts for the rear?

Oh yeah, I heard Tien springs would only do a minimal drop, but is that considered only for the 2004.5 and up while still making a significant drop for me?

nice rack

heres teins specs on springs and drop height. You can get it lower if you buy some #2 pads for your car.
