Coilovers Vs Stock
Anyone who has coilovers how does the ride quality compare to stock? And if you installed them yourself how would you rate the difficulty?

2007 c230 sport (w203) 2.5 v6 manual
Literally just installed coilovers today. Problem I'm dealing with is when dropped all the way down, my front tires are rubbing in 2 spots. Towards the top near the tread and about midway down into sidewall. Looking for longer lug bolts / wheel spacers that will hopefully cure the issue. Keep you posted.
