Talking 08 C350 AFTER H&R COILOVER INSTALL (PICS!)

Hey guys, been a long time viewer and finally found some time to take some pics of my car after having H&R coilovers installed. Unfortunately I had to make the time to take these pictures cause I'm selling my car. But none the less, wanted to finally show the coilovers off and help those who are thinking about getting coilovers to have some more pics. Cause I know I had a little trouble finding a bunch of pics to look at when I was thinking about getting them. So hope you enjoy.

I'm going to try and sell the car with the coilovers. However, if the buyer doesn't care for them or doesn't want them I'll take them off and sell them. Actually they dont rub at all. Even with 4 people in the car or making sharp turns. I was pretty surprised about that after I had them installed, but I'm not complaining

Looks nice!

Could you adjust the coilovers to go lower? Or is that as low as it will go?

Good luck with your sale.

I appreciate all the compliments guys.The ride quality is great. It actually feels very similar to stock when your just cruising around, which is really nice. But when you take a turn is when you really feel the difference. It makes the car feel GLUED to the road... its pretty amazing. I've also got a 08 Corvette and my C350 feels way better in the corners and can take them at much higher speeds with LOTS of confidence. They are a progressive setup so its perfect for daily driving. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for coilovers.

Right now they are about 95% as low as they could go. I could maybe squeeze another half inch if I wanted to.

Still wanting to keep them on the car for now. If I decide to sell them separate from the car I will let y'all know.

I had them professionally installed by EVS Motorsports here in Houston. Install probably only took 2 hours. Could easily be installed without a lift in probably 3 hours, theres really not much too it. When I got my coilovers all my tools were at my vacation house which is 3 hours away and I was too eager to wait a week to get them on haha.

thats a nice ride height, i would think you could go alot lower w those, cant be 95% can it? look at blazeitups car w stock 18s hes tucking his rears, your still gapping a tiny bit. either way looks nice and its nice to be able to adjust height and ride.......GLWS bro

Thanks, This is perfect! I was looking for a pic of the steel grey dropped, Thanks!!!!

Is the ride any more bouncy now??? I feel like my car is way to bouncy as it is. About how much did everything run you for the shock and install?

Also, I really like that tint on your windows... looks very clean!!! When you sell the car, you think I could buy your tint?
Thanks

I was quite obviously joking about the tint. I just realized how new I am to this board and that no one here is aware of my awkward sense of humor. So I thought I had better hurry up and post this up, before everybody starts going crazy... Hopefully someone enjoyed a good laugh out of. And if you are reading this and did.... Your welcome

Are these coilovers the "Street" model? Is this the only H&R set available for our W204s?

excuse the ignorant question, but do you still use spring pads on coil overs?
