Suspension question
So i have a 2012 c300 4 matic sport 55,000km on it
it seems pretty low as i was told the suspension is now settled on it was wondering are coil overs worth it? I spoke to a few mb owners and we compared the heights I'm about 1cm lower than their cars but they only have about 17,000km on theirs.
i wanted to get 18's on it but then i saw VFS2 Silver Polished vossens come in 19" would i have to consider coil overs?
if i have to what are some good ones at a reasonable price ?

I say get the wheels you want first. Then decided if you want to be lower or not. Best would be H&R for all around quality and amount of lowering. KW's are good also but cost much more and don't offer as much lowering ability.

Have you considered just lowering springs? You can lower the car a bit over an inch and don't have to worry about adjustment and they cost significantly less than coilovers.
We carry a lot of both types, take a look at the kind of variety out there:
Vivid Coilovers
Vivid Lowering Springs

might just save up for the KW but i did call and ask for pricing on H&R 315$ and he said they would work on the 4matic waiting on a quote for install if its reasonable i may just try it out
