and this morning i was bored and changed back the carlsson to vogue, my previous wheel, hahahaa
even though the carlsson 1/16 has same 10 inches wide in the rear, but i hate the stance
now i even more loving her, it's growing bigger than ever.. literally :P

Hey Tiga,nice car you have, how did you get that negative camber? (on your previous w203) Just by lowering or did you change other things? Thanks!

PS: I love the rear bumper from Carlsson

tiga88

yes, the negative camber came automatically just by lowering your w203, and all your mercedes. and maybe on some, you can adjust it a little bit from the wheel alignment. i did it on my camber and toe.

thank youuu. i love her too

tiga88

voila, this is it.. been away for a while, finally the journey continues,
this is phase 2 of c class :P
also got my oem c55 amg spoiler.. so exited!

let me know what you guys think

sorry for bb crappy pic

TruTaing

That rear lip is growing on me.... What side skirts are those? They dont look like typical carlsson skirts ive seen. They look good w/ the kit though!

TruTaing

These skirts are haunting me! Anyone know what they are?!?!

tiga88

haha keep it together man, it's already like that when i got this c class.. and i think these skirts are just custom-made, i also never saw skirts like these one before
probably the previous owner just doesn't like how empty is the side of this carlsson lip kit

tiga88

and some yesterday snaps after going back to the suspension shop for clear the inner liner on my rear fender, turns out they forgot to cut the inner liner and stuff inside..
yesterday was disaster.. my rear fender goes wild.. rubbing so loud on all side, makes me crazy wkwkwk






and also still doing this...

phister

Pull and roll that rear fender

TruTaing

Yea... those skirts really do make that front/rear lip work together!

and ++ on what phister said! Could ya get the front lower? :x

tiga88

yep.. this is the reason why i came back to the shop hahaa..
and you know what phister, also because of that rubbing, my right rear fender burnt.. the paint was turn yellow.. later i post how it looks.
does this ever happened to your fender?

phister

Nope. I'm pulled enough where I don't rub the fender, just the liner sometimes.

tiga88

lower the front?? i wish but nope :P because the thing is the ride isn't that comfy anymore, it's already too much bouncy, i have to find stiffer spring.. now i'm using half H&R (literally, i cut it)
but for now, do you notice that such as w212 e class carlsson lip using carbon fiber in the front mid. im thinking to make a custom-made just like the 212, maybe it'll make lower looks

phister

Just get custom springs made. Swift springs from Japan is a go to company for custom springs and replacement coilover springs, they build to your spec. I'm about to hit them up for different coilover springs. hopefully they can make not as wide so I can go lower and not rub the spring

pww

What spring rates are you running?

phister

im running 10kg front and 8kg rear about to do 12kg front and 10kg rear. with coilovers you can only go + or - 2 on the spring rate or they'll have to be revalved to accommodate stiffness. Going to call Swift here in the next month.

tiga88

wow custom springs made... how much are those phister, is it expensive?
or maybe there is another cheap way . once my suspension shop guy said, you can use other car oem spring as sport springs choices, the only thing you have find the right fit and spring rate. and also they told me that w203 c class can use a crv for front and w211 for rear.
and it's a common thing here in Indonesia to use other oem car springs, but i never tried :P

phister

Custom springs aren't much, usually as much as normal springs. I can call BC racing and have them make me some but I want swift springs because their quality is top notch and they're not as wide so I'll more clearance.

I would do the OEM thing in your case but that's a lot of searching for it and maybe having to buy it new or used. With the custom you get exactly what you want.

tiga88

yeah, but for ours just use a 2002s crv and w211 springs, these already proven here, a lot of my friend start using them when pursuing the stance and the ride is just the same as eibach and h&r before cut, maybe a lil bit stiffer though
i just find better item to spend on, like the spoiler before

tiga88

like trutaing said, is my car is too much lower in the rear?
funny thing, i dont understand why mercedes design our 203 that is too nosedive, means that if you lower it same fr and rr it'll be not level, the rear end is too high.. and i dont like it
so i wanted it looks level so i lower the rr more than fr, front is about 6,5cm and rear is about 3,5cm from wheel lips

and you know what, when im using these spring on c200(or c180 in US) why is the height is the same? i mean they have different engine weight right? so why now same, supposed to be lower in 240

phister

MB makes the stance that way for handling purposes.

tiga88

agreed!!, but the thing is when you see a w202,w204,w210,w211 and others even on s class or every other mercedes, when you lowered evenly on all side, it'll look level and flat, but not in w203 case.
imho why w203 so different to others.. but nonetheless i still love it hahaa

bimo2700mf
