Couple Questions

I just have a couple questions, if you guys wouldnt mind answering them for me

1.) If I were to put on a coilover system and new wheels on a c230k, would the dealer refuse warranty work?
2.) What size wheels/tires would go in front/rear on a c230k

Thats it

I will answer like this;
If you have a warranty issue that the dealer (who could be an *** as Mr.Noble said) can claim is a direct result of changing an oem item, to an after market product, then you could have a problem. I have noticed that a lot of modders keep the oem parts for one of 3 reasons;
1. In case it needs to be put back on to go back to the dealer in an emergency.
2. Car is a lease and needs to be returned to original when turning it in.
3. Last............. Can't sell the part or it has little value on the market. Like stock w203 suspension, halogen head lights or the dreaded 16' wheels. (If there is a market for these items........Please let me know)
Hope this helps...........

I would be looking into putting 18"s on the car, and probably the H & R coilovers, unless you guys have a better suggestion.
