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.

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.!
