H&R Coilovers with the rear spindles off. Taking out the front once I have time. Planning to upgrade on my suspension in the future. Just have to do some looking around to see what my options are but I believe I'm headed in the directions for getting it bagged. Time will tell.

Was undecided on what to go with either a 09 is350 or an 08-present c300/c350
Was going more towards the L only because ive seen such nice ones fixed up and slammed (since im into the stance scene)
But now that i started seing pics of w204 pretty low on here got me kinda more on the Mercedes side

11 E350 4M - 05 STI
that is correct,
thats why i said somewhat fitted, it only has what was at that time was an aggresive setup
for subies, now people are pulling 10's on that body where as Im 18x9.5 et 33 all around on 255/35/18 Bridgestone Potenza RE-11's I still have room to go lower on the coils
Im seeing so far for C-class a common setup of 8.5 in front and 10 in the rear, can we fit anything wider upfront?
my other newb question if you can help me out, maybe its the german engineering
but typically on an awd setup, all tires/rim size has to be the same so it doesnt mess up the differential too much( maybe subie world)
however im noticing different sizing setups on the 4matics, even in stock trim where the tire sizes are different from front to rear... ie 225/45up front and i think 245/40 rear obviously lower profile to accomodate the wider witdh.. is this all there is to it?
any input? I have not used the search button yet, just figured Id ask since you commented on the subie
Thanks

You can go a little wider in the front, but will take some fender rolling to do so, possible slight pull if you really want to push it. It all depends on the manufacturer as far as staggered wheels go for AWD cars. I believe MB runs a staggered setup for their 4 matics, but the concern for doing so on subies is premature bearing and differential wear.
