springs on C230 Coupe
can anyone post any pics of 18' rims or higher on the C230 Coupe? If so can you indicate if you put new springs on them or not? Also can anyone recommend what kind of springs I should buy if I do decide to lower the car. Thanks!

blackcCoupe... what size spring pads do you have with your springs?
your car looks a bit high.. I want vritually no wheel gap
onie's looks very similar but even higher..
By no means is this a remark of offense... but I thought lowreing springs would take me to the point of no wheel wells.
Does changing front pads to #1 help?? the rear is close to what I want.

first of all i did change my rear spring pads to #1 and there is no wheel gap at all i cant even stick my fingers in there. and seconed there are no spring pads on the front to change. and lowering springs do not drop a car which is obviously what u are looking for at least no lowering spring for a mercedes thats a good brand spring will drop your car. i personally think my car is a perfect height i would not want it higher or lower at all. it seems like u might want coil overs which i think suck. but its up to u.
maybe i need to take better pics of the wheel gaps for u. but i will tell u again there is no gap in the rear at all infact its actually tucking but the front is not. on this car just the way it is if u wanted the front to tuck your front bumper will be on the floor. If u had the springs put on your car they make a HUDGE difference in person, maybe noting big in the pics though. And all the people that saw my car in person after it was done could not belive how low it was eaither. good luck

Hmm.. I had the Canadian equivalent of the C7 (Evolution Package), but I sold my C7's in favor of 18s... It's just that I need to purchase the SPRING PADS from MB before I bring it to my mechanic to lower it.
Is there any way of seeing what I have first?
