Before and after lowering...
I know some of you have lowered your W204s. I have seen some pics here, but only one member gives a good side shot. So, my request is this:

Please post good side, before and after shots, of your W204, name your method (suspension brands) and give a summary of how the ride and handling have changed. I'd really like to see shots of cars with stock wheels (Tank ) because the drop is difficult to gauge when wide, 19" wheels are installed. With summer coming, those of us who live in the colder climates will be making this decision soon.

Hopefully in a few months there will be loads of photos.

Thanks.

Bryan

Vcruiser, I like the drop on your car. Just right IMO.

Yxc145, your drop is more than what I want.

nope, not at all. i thought i would need to after what happened with my E320 (20" with H&R springs). hit and fenders and bent them.
I have not yet had any problem with my C350
and it looks perfect.

I think Vcrusier actually got a set of SUPER SPORTS and swapped out his sports ones soon after......
there is a whole thread showing the pictures of his car lowered.

here is the thread, you should read it and there are many more pictures of MikeSS's wife's car. with Sports, the front is ok. but the rear, you will see there is still a big gap between fender and tire. towards the end of the thread, after MikeSS found out there is a supersports springs, he soon swapped out the sports ones.
