Hey guys! I'm new to this forum. Recently bought a C240.


The front suspension sits much higher than the back.


Is this normal?

I have the same problem. Rides fine, corners fine. I'm wondering if it's the rear struts.

not knowing if you live in the rust belt I am willing to bet that the rear springs developed a crack from rust and broke a link. Both my rears snapped a turn and had no idea

Or it could be normal as it is the basic entry level benz HUBCAPS!!??

tommy

Yes, that's fine on a non-modified car. That's the way that Benz does it.

It's a German thing.

hubcaps?? same here.. car sits exactly like that.

ildd

Yep, as others have said, completely normal. Although it's one of the biggest complaints... looks way too weird.

LexBenz

Yup that's normal. Honestly, I like the looks of the basic w203. At first glance, it looks like a shortened w220.

Mine looks the same way. The front sits much higher than the rear for some reason. It is actually rather annoying to look at, Lol.

TTR

Yup looks right. Then I put coilovers in, now it looks awesome.

Congrats on the new car !, as everyone said it's how benz made those, but this is also it's signature look you know ?, when you lower it and drop the front/back equally, it starts to look really good !

Forgive me, but I have a 2007 c230 sport and your picture looks way wrong to me. There is definately something amiss that you should get checked out.

The C230s sit a lot lower than the 240 and 320's. Hence the "sport"
