There's been a lot of issues with ksport where the strut mounts actually broke leaving the cars undrivable since the coilovers are mounted to nothing.

Im on bilstein pss9 , car rides awesome better than stock but i dont know why they dont go low as much as h&r or bc do, but theyre totally worth it, i guess theyre made for performance more than the look .

C230
I want to go to 17s or should I stay on 16"
I want a moderate drop look but no coilovers. I have stock springs.
What is my best way to go about; just change springs on all 4 corners and what is the spring best recommended for a 2003 C230 coupe
