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

, 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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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
