Euroteck CF Front Lip + H&R Coilovers
Finally installed them this weekend. Took some more pics of the lowered ride height for anyone who wanted reference. This is MAX low setting that the coilovers can achieve. I'm probably going to take it back to raise it up slightly as I have some scraping issues pulling out of my driveway. Enjoy.

middle bottom. I just have a funky garage in my apartment where the parking is underground and there's a big ramp to get up to top level. The bottom of the ramp I have no issues going in straight even with drop or lip, it's the top crest that gives me issues as the degree change from incline to flat is pretty dramatic. Besides that, there really has been no issues thus far. The coilovers ride SOOOOO much better than just the springs.

Sponsorship deal fell through so probably just going to save up for some HREs, although the new line of IForged intrigues me. Probably won't execute till after my wedding in Feb though to keep bridezilla off my back

Looks fantastic! that's super low.. 2.2 is the max drop, right? I think you should probably raise it to 1.8". That's what the super sport spring is. Coilover is actually good deal. Since I already got my H&R spring, I am gonna just wait for the Bilstein heavy duty shocks to come out.
By the way, the brabus 3 pcs trunk spoiler looks great, too!

As for the lip, I know the general animosity towards Euroteck here, but it's a good product. It's not 100% what I wanted (wish it had that step design like the E class or even the older C class), but wasn't that bad. The way we were able to install it, it didn't have as much of a pulled up/bending look in the front. The Carlsson rep although looked good, wasn't quite my style and didn't want a carlsson style front with a brabus style rear. The ABS one looked too low for me and as a CF ***** that I am, I wanted a CF lip :p

a set of coilover for $1250 is not a bad deal. I really just didn't want the OEM shocks to go to waste. Hopefully the Bilstein shocks for the short springs will provide good ride/handling when they come out.
Yeah, the reason I don't like the Euroteck lip is that it doesn't have much style... It looks like a curved plastic piece added to the bumper. Like you said, I also prefer their W203 one better. It has more a "step" look to match the OEM bumper.
Still a sick looking car.
anything else you are gonna do? C63 style dual exhaust CF diffusor?

I ordered the ones off Autopia, but they were too big so had to send them back. Going back to the Hella bulb and custom fit them. Like anything custom, takes a bit of time and trial/error.

It's funny how opinions differ from board to board when it comes to drop levels. Some board say they would go half an inch lower, some say it needs to go half an inch higher. I need to wait for it to fully settle, then take it in for final height adjustment. Need to find that sweet spot.

Does the lip come pre-drilled?

There are drill holes premarked for you. Strange thing was that there were more screws on the left than there were on the right. Wasn't an even number. Still, it's very secure. Very tight fit though with high tension, but pretty good for aftermarket.

The ride is sooooo much better compared to just springs. I've ridden in a 204 with KW V3s and it feels better according to my buttmeter. You can tell right away taking bumps and hard corners.

I wonder if it's lower than mine now. got super sports on and settled after 5 months.

Set it to max low to show the boards what height these coilovers can achieve at their lowest. Then it's up to the individual to raise it to whatever height suits their personal taste. Anyone getting these should ride it for about 500 miles to allow things to settle, then go in for final ride height adjustment as then you'll get a more accurate picture.
