Looks nice. Not too much of a drop at all. I think the wife wouldn't even notice that.

How much would you say they dropped? she won't mind it as long as it isn't too low. I'm the one that will like the drive.

That may be a bit much but I'm sure I'll do it anyway. Need some wheels first

Ooooh, that may be perfect. I feel like the front needs more of a drop to give it that raked feel.

Nice drop! Looks more aggressive!!

Can I ask the name of the shop you got it installed? I am thinking of getting the springs but not sure if it will affect the agility control??

BTW, nice to see another C350 with 18' rims in the vancouver area? Haven't seen any since I got the car in Jan.

I've been told by H&R and Eibach that sports are lowere 1/2" because they are already lower. Has anyone actuall taken measurements? I know it's best to measure from the center of the wheel to the fender edge.

I did measured before and after I installed the springs and in fact the car lowered 1" at the front and 3/4" on the rear, then I measured again after 3 weeks once the car settle and in fact was 1 1/4" at the front and 1" on the rear wheel, that was six months ago.

How is the grip on your 4-matic, is it geared towards performance or is it more understeery and utitlitarian? I have no idea that's why I'm asking.

Mine hugs the road pretty good. It has a good amount of steer not overkill but not too little. But thats just one mans opinion
