Lowering a C55
Never really thought about modding the car but the bug kinda got to me a little bit....
I am thinking about lowering the car and add some wheels/front lip.
What do you guys recommend for lowering? I don't see any point in coilovers since I don't hit the track with this car at all...do C32 and C55's share the same lowering parts?
Thanks!

All C's share the same chassis and suspension parts are cross compatible as far as fitment, though there are some setups that say they are specifically designed for the different weights of cars, as the C55 engine is clearly heavier than the C230 engine. Hope this helps.

Tein's are the most affordable high quality coilover kit on the market, I would personally say, followed by KW, and Bilstein and H&R in terms of price to quality.

Make sure you do your research and ask members that are using the parts your interested in before buying. If your looking to have a smooth riding car make sure to ask the right questions so you are happy wit the ride and not just the looks.
