lorinser wheels for the W203 the offset should be et31 all around. If it's et35 you are getting you will need to add a 3mm extra spacer like what I'm doing now. How low can you set depends on the coilovers. some have bigger turn-buckle and some have smaller one.
p.s. I've replied you couple time and haven't heard back from you. did you check your junk mail? Last email I received from you was on 2/11 which was replied on 2/11 regarding the price you were asking about the Limo kit.
confirm with me if you didn't receive it and i will resent.

Fine work Frank!
I was following an Infiniti G35 Sedan at about 90mph & when he hit his brakes his LED tail lights including the third brake light flashed a couple of times before lighting up. Is this something that can be retrofitted to MB LED tail lights?

OMG...I just realize I'm an idiot...just realize I put the 12mm spacer for the front wheels to the rear and the rear 5mm to the front. No wonder the coils would hit the wheel... 
going to shop tomorrow to change it back.

Frank,
The car looks awesome! Man your car has gone through so many changes in the past year or so. Hopefully I'll see mine change as rapidly.
thanks for the 411 on the taillight wiring. I'm gonna see if I can make the bottoms light up while keeping the functionality of the rear fog.
Anybody know what the stock bulb number for the rear fog is? I'm figuring it's a stock dual filament bulb.

that doesnt sound like it's worth it. i wonder if they offer it anywhere else, if they make that grill all blk. it does look sweet tho esp w/o the plate on the front! sucks to live in Canada tho, we have to have a lincese plate on the front.

in California the law requires a front plate, but I never put one on. The only plate that I put on was the Euro plate with our company name on it. Now that plate is on one of our car crew member's car.
