That's just too low in general. You should keep the 17's because the rubber is cheaper. You'll be replacing those rear tires quite often with all that negative camber.

19"
I think that should be ok..
make sure you roll the fender...
right now I used 19" it's ok.
but make sure you put 225 for front and rear is 245 should be ok...
But you need roll the fender...specialy front and rear you need cut the fender cover too.. little bit....
bring to TWS. at walnut they know How to do it....
OPPSSS sorry wrong this miami........right..... oppsssssss

C230 Komp Sedan - 2003
DAAAAANNNN Dude ....u just freaked me out ! Please tell me u did something strange to get your car look like that...but thats like 6 in drop....i just ordered the H&R cup kits yesterday....and if my car looks like yours i'm gonna have to drive it into a wall 
sorry don't mean to be desrespectfull...if you like yours slammed like that its cool...but i'm freakin out...i like about 1 finger spacing between the tire and the fender....
i think if you got 18 in rims that may make it look much better....
again..sorry don't mean to come down on you and dis your ride...but i'm just wondering how you got that drop...
thanx

03' C230K Sedan
By the way its a C230k and I have H&R springs (ridding on 1.5 coils cut in the front and 1.25 in the back) It rides good. 1 question you think i should get shocks for it. Cause the front has a soft ride to it. I want it to be stiffer when it hits bumps. What do you guys suggest?

So one more time just to double check...you got H & R springs and cut them and you put them on your car with your stock shocks...is this correct?

I dont recommend stiffer ride. You will get bored with it after a while since you have to be carefull when theres bump. Just stick with stock shock and get 19" for appearance. So, looks good and ride good.
damn that looks really low

I think your Car looks Damn Good
I don't think you will be able to go to bigger wheels with that drop. If it is that low on 17's when you go to 18's with a lower profile tire, the car will ride like a truck.
Good Job on the drop though.

here's another pic right after i got it lowered. it'll sit a lil bit lower after the springs settle. surprisingly, the ride isn't that harsh on the cupkit. i haven't received any complaints, and i guess upgrading rims to 18s produced a harsher ride than changing suspension...
