THe tips definitely do add to the car.. i really hate the way the exhaust looks stock.. coz its bent down... it looks kinda wussy ... the tips definitely are a nice touch

yes they do, i just dont like how they come down, it looks like it was just stuck on... cause if you look at it from the side, it looks like there is no exhaust there.... but it does enhance the look of the car. its a plus!

you are right.. never thoght of how it would look from a side angle.. i guess if there was a cutout on the rear bumper, then the tips would look better rather than having it curve down and out....

Hey spindrome,

Could you post a pic with a direct side view of your car? I am also looking to lower my c320 with HRs but I am worried about the back. I want to get both wheel wells even height. Did you leave the stock pad in the back? Have the springs settled anymore than when you got them installed?

Thanks.

I agree fully with you, these tips are best enjoyed from behind the car. It looks kinda funny from the side...

i'll take another picture soon with full side view. Yes you're correct. The installers left the stock pads in the back (and front). The springs have settled somewhat (been over 1 year now). NO matter what, the fronts appear higher than the rears because the fender wells are higher.

I'm contemplating getting lower pads in the front to compensate a bit. Anyone out there know if this will fix the problem, at least visually?

spindrome,


The new Cs do not have pads in the front, only in the rear. I think if I have my car lowered I am going to get the biggest pad in the back. I think it helps like 1/2 inch or so, but anything to even out the wells. The other option in coil-overs but they are pretty expensive and give a much harsher ride.
