Air Suspension?
Finally got some silver Mandrus Millenniums put on my car 18 x 8.5 (wrapped in Falken FK452s
) all the way around. Unfortunately they came out looking extremely small and the rears have about a 3 inch gap between the tire and the fender
.
Since springs don't seem to drop more than an inch and a half (roughly), I'm thinking about saving up for an air suspension kit. Do you guys know of any out for the W204 or if there would be any problems installing (like messing with the stock adaptive suspension)?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Coilovers are an option I hadn't considered. If I spend in the neighborhood of $1000-$1500 (the prices I found for KWs and H&Rs) I'd like to get a decent drop of 3-4".
I'll post up pics of the wheels/gap tomorrow, currently in the middle of getting the car detailed. Took a 600 mile road trip to see the family for the holidays and now my black beauty is swirled like crazy!

Here's max low setting on H&Rs. No wheel gap and slightly tucked. Noticed you're a fan of VIP styling so I understand the desire for bags though.
