Pics: RennTech Monolites & Bilstein PSS9's
Folks,
I am not one to brag, but I just couldn't help but to share pics of my 19" RennTech Monolites and my Bilstein PSS9's:

Monolites are one of my all time favorites. OZ is the actual OEM for RT I believe.
Did you have to use spacers?
I really like it AirFrcd. Must-do mod: paint those orange side markers.

Who carries the painted, or clear markers?

looks good! How much do the 19's weigh? Dunno if it is the camera angle or not but the car looks uneven from the side, like its too low in the front

The "too low in the front" isn't the camera angle I don't think, it's probably just a result of the design of the w203 cars - in their infinite wisdom, MB's engineers designed the w203 with a substantially larger fender-wheel gap in the front than the rear.
Using lowering springs, you usually wind up with a correct body position, and a nice wheel gap in the front, but with the "tucked" look in the rear. With coilovers like PSS9's, you can dial out this bias and have an identical F&R fender gap - but then you're left with a car that definitely looks pitched forward. To my eyes, the fender gap on AirFrcd's car looks perfect

Agreed, think it looks good! (better than good, in fact).
