Looks nice Mike

What's with the placement of the mymb window decal

And the ones you put on the paint, do they mess up the paint if you remove them? I like the decal by the fender

Mike, you must really love the wifey or you did something really bad (i.e. looking up skirts too much) .

Looks good. In some pics it looks lowered and some pics it looks stock. Are all the pictures already with the lowering springs added already or what?

Yeah some Benzes they don't look too great on like our W203's but on the W204 I think it matches well. Older wheels on a newer car Parking garage was Ceaser's

Thanks Shake. Window sticker was place that way to get more people to see and read it while in Vegas. Body stickers were removed yesterday no paint damage.

Yeah.. but not on the top of my mod list rite now since I only use it on the weekends. My W203 is feeling neglected since the wheels got downgraded for awhile.

1st couple of pics are photoshopped drop pics by Ling. After those are the car at stock height. Then the more recent ones I post are lowered on H&R sports.

Got to Vegas in 3 hours from South Coast. Once I hit the 15 the needle never fell below 90. Only got to bring her upto 120 before I got by the misses. Flew by a pack of Subies and a few hondas here and there. Played with an A4 and got spanked by a modded Laguna Seca Blue E46 M3 on the way home. Police Ha!

I was wondering what your exact wheel setup is? Like tire size, front and rear, wheel size front and rear, and offset front and rear... Thanks! Don't worry... Not going to buy the same ones. Haha.

Wheels are 19x9 +39 offset all around 245/35/19 & 265/30/19 Toyo T1S Tires. I recommend a higher offset since my front wheels stick out a tad. I will go with a smaller tire setup soon maybe 235/35/19 or 225/35/19 in the front and 245/35/19 or 255/30/19 in the rear.

Let me know if you have any other questions

oh ok gotcha! Looks pretty good. I just wish that it would drop a tad bit more. Still a tad too high for me. I hope they settle. If they do that would be the perfect drop. Always loved HR stuff.

I was going to throw them on the W204 and send the Renntech's out to get shaved 5mm since I thought they may not clear the fenders but after the car was lowered it wasn't that bad so I just kept them on. I refuse to use the stocks. Pretty sweet that the U/Ls will fit both cars by removing the adapters.

Hmm seems like a similar one I see all the time here in San Clemente.

I truly love the way the new C class looks. Simply a job well done by the designers at MBZ.
