2008 C300 SPORT (white)
Project almost complete

First and foremost, I already know that she needs to be lowered, lol. Waiting to find the best price, several venders selling the springs, so i have time to compare prices.

Everything done so far: Tinted headlight film, D.I.Y. tinted taillights( hello that film, is too much drama, lol.I used transparent blk paint) Clear corner lights, Painted grill wit Carbon Fiber Accents (vinyl film), 20" wheels 20x8.5 all around 245/30R20 Falken FK452 Series, Modified X-pipe ( 2ea Y-Pipes welded in the center then mounted in place of resonator) I have to say the sound is Awsome, similiar to a Porsche. When I get the chance I will upload a sound clip, but its close to FrankW clips, at idle u hear no difference at all, wit some throttle then u have wait u been craving, inside there is no difference what so ever, I have the crackle, pops, and growl, to but honest its output is more for those on the street staring as u drive by. Germans are eating this car up right now, its definitely not common. Im very happy, to say the least.

Future plans, like I said H&R Sport Spring Kit, the Super Sport, might be too close for the rear. Complete tint. Still deciding on the 3-piece Brabus spoiler, and if so white,blk, or carbon fiber styled. Headers once they come available, checked on a website they are in the works now. oh yeah remove the chrome trim on the doors, lol. Derspeed, u had me jealous for quite some time now, but I had to wait til I got the new wheels, figured didnt make sense, since she was still sittin on chrome.

if curious about the wheels, they are on www.wtwcorp.com, but I purchase them from ebay. u gotta love ebay!!

and it all depends on the roads u travel, but 20s ride the same as 19s. Trust me I have compared.

Ta-Ta for Now

well when i ordered them, sales rep was like "they wont fit ur car, u can go only up to 19s" then i told him that i already have on 20s and im using 245/30 and he said "oh, ok most people in the states, dont want 30, usually they ride on 45. that size tire they should fit just fine."

oh no, none at all, but of course there is a slight rub, if im 4 passengers on a bumpy road, but nothing while travelling a well maintained road. but also, Im single so on the average, I might have 1 passenger. So that really hasnt been an issue for me.

but the first set I had, I couldnt ride on them by myself wit out them rubbin if i hit a bump, but they also were the wrong offset, and 20x9.5 in the rear.

never mind the hypocrite.

car looks good

just be careful when you lower the car. the front wheel looks like it's sticking out a bit when you go too low it'll rub against the fender.

bit lower wud be nicer but hey, u got 35 ofset which i think aggressive. Mine is 45 w/ same tyres size like urs. Just to share, when u lower it, make sure front wheels wont rub ur spring housing. But it depends on tyre's mileage thoug. I got this issue earlier (brand new tyres) but then disappears..
