Question Zero,I've done research on Tommy @Musicbox and I've seen nothing but good feedback on him but all the suspension work I've seen so far is on Lexus, do you know if he has worked on a 2012 C Class Sprt yet? Thanks

Make sure you call him up first because he is usually busy throughout the week. You can also schedule an appointment on weekends. I have heard nothing but good reviews about this guy. I've only been in his shop once for a HID install. Labor cost is pretty reasonable too.

C-350 2010 RWD
Hello everyone!
I'm just new here and a good reason for that is that I just bought my 1st Mercedes :- )
I'm thinking of installing new wheels on my '10 C-350 RWD. Suspension is presently stock but thinking of lowering slightly with H&R coil springs.
Anyone thinks this would not be a good set-up?
Front 19X8.5 - 235/35/19 Hankook V12
Rear 19X9.5 - 275/35/19 Hankook V12
What offset would anyone recomand to go with this set-up (F&R) and any other concerns? Anyone see a problem with this set-up?
Thanks a million!

You guys are such worry warts, there is no danger with running a 215 on our cars. None of you do it because its not "recommended" by MB. Their ratings are super conservative. I've been running the same size for years in my Audi's at the strip, track, autocross and long trips and never a single problem. Every other euro tuner scene is running way more stretch than that and no problems unless you expose too much of the bead and drive like a fool. Load rating!? BLAH!

To avoid rubbing you'd need a much higher offset (53 or 55?) in the rear.
