AirRex Bagged 2005 C230 Sport **Lots of PICS**
Hello,
i actually did this install around mid september time frame but ive been to lazy to post this up. so here it is.

Full installation took me about 1 full day. Pretty easy to install but took me awhile because ive never worked on a mercedes before, ive been building hondas for about 12 years. I ran the hoses and power wire through the driver side underneath the carpet and put it through the firewall where the fuse box is. its a huge hole that mercedes just stuffed with foam.

































i know the front looks like it has possitive camber. its cause it did. but airrex sent me new lower mounts for the front and now im running about -1.5 camber in front. looks a lot better.

I believe I'm running -2.0 in the rear with barely tucking tire. But it will vary on how low you want to roll. Ride is pretty good feels like coilovers in my opinion u can adjust the dampening too.

Anyone know which airrex suspension was used here?

Airrex doesnt make a bolt on kit for the w203 so it must be from a different year/model.

Thanks in advance .
