Angry Hook me up please!!!!!!!!!

hi, all the mod experts out there, please help me to mod my ride.
I have a black 02 c240. Recently, it has been the joke of the block. I got a lot of like, "You got have some new rims, mannnn!!!!, your car looks like a soccer mom's car!!!. grandma's car!!!"

O.K. I decide to spend some dough to get some new rims for it, I was thinking maybe 18' carlsson, and drop the front to about 1 finger gap, rear looks ok now, tint the window!

So please hook me up, I have about $3k to play with. so give me some pointers, advice, suggestions on where to get the best deals on rims, what kit do I use to drop the car (no cutting spring)
H&R, or coilover? maybe just general comments.

Yup harris seems to be the hookup there. Since u dont have much money to play with-he has a killer deal on that carlsson kit. Just buy 19's and a drop. That would hold u off for a bit.

You CA guys should take it easy with your 19". (j/k)

Ever seen those roads in WI after they get done with winter. More pot holes than you can count in a lifetime.

I am suprised you got such comment, anyway I came from Madison, moved last year. anyway have you seen silver C class with 18 carlsson 1/5, he live in sheboygan area. that should give you idea.

anyway you can pm me, if you interested in some wheels my friend might want to sell his rim 18 inch avantgarde

Dude for 3 grand, you can get some 19's, possibly brabus of taiwan and tires for 1700, and then spend 1000 on bi xenons. That should be a good start! Will look great.!
