HAHA thanks nobleC320 and rbardo! hey noble, do you have any pics of your car you can send me? i'd like to see how your car sits with the brabus springs. any plans to swap out the stock shocks?

Guest0001

I need to take some more pics of my car. Ill PM you when I get the chance

btw i forgot the mention how gorgous that grill looks

I will probably get the full brabus suspension when my shocks are about the die(maybe another yr?). I know its expensive(around 1300 i think) but i have been so satisfied by the ride/ handling balance ill most likely take the plunge. I Can probably get coillovers for that price but i dont think i can tolerate the ride.

JW230K

sweet thanks, i look forward to seeing those pics.
wow that's awesome that you're lookin to get the full brabus suspension! i wish i had that kinda dough to burn...i was thinking about gettin a set of h&r springs with h&r shocks and struts. i'd go with the h&r cup kit, but the way it tucks the rear tires under the fenders bothers me.... i'd prefer to have both front and rear tucked or untucked. i know it's just the way the front fender was designed that causes the bigger front gap, but it just doesn't look as clean, imo. oh well...i probably should just get over it and save the money and get the cup kit.

JW230K

thanks! i think you should get yourself the same grill. i think i saw a used one selling in the classifieds for $400, and it's prepainted black to match your car already.... go for it! if it's not already sold.

JW230K

ahhh found it! Expression grill for sale (black) it's being sold by machoman.

JW230K

hmmm...yea um...sorry Noble C320, i just realized your car was silver!

You can get a pretty even drop with equal front and rear wheel well spacing by using the #4 rear spring pad with the H&R cup kit. Forum member mj50 has this set up and his drop looks great!

JW230K

ah yeah, you're right Blake P...i've seen mj50's drop, and it looks better.

do you have any pics of your car you can send me? do you have the 2004.5 C230 with the lower suspension? oh wait, you already swapped out your stock springs with a set of eibachs. do you have any pics i can check out anyways? thanks.

Blake P

No, my car was one of the first 2004s and the 04.5's came out shortly after with all those upgrades.
Here's a couple pics of how it currently looks.

JW230K

ah....that's a very good lookin car! i think your drop is pretty similar to the 2004.5 and 2005 stock drop. that's such a bummer that you missed the 04.5 by a few months. the euro strips are sweet! thanks for sharing your pics.
