I am using K-Sport coilovers, the car is now a lot lower than both OEM sport and my previous H&R springs.

I will most likely drop it a bit more before alignment.

How is the ride quality in the k sport?

I am on the market for coil overs, and right now h&r seem to be the most affordable and good ones.

I have a set of H&R coilovers lying here next to me ordered to another car but when comparing the two I feel that the K-Sports are better quality, they also adjust ride height by adjusting the entire strut (twin tube) instead of just the spring as in the mono H&R kit.

Ive also seen cars with H&R coils not lowering very much even at the lowest setting, it does not seem possible to slam a car with the H&R kit.

K-Sport also have adjustable dampers, I am really satisfied with the coils.

Wao,, simply stunning! I am ordering these wheels for my C63 asap!
Can you please tell the offset? I wonder if we can run 20x10 up front too for the insane concavity.

Hey vic, love the wheels, im looking into same setup for myself on exact same car.

how many kms would you get out of the tyres?

any recommendations about this setup? would it be better to get 19s with k sports, bigger tread to last longer in kms..

also any problems when car loaded with people. tyres under load issues?

thanks in advance .
