I thought the point of using a 10" wide rim was so you could mount a 285 or wider tire. Good luck making the front or rear fit as they both look to stick out beyond the fender.

235 on the rear? you must have a lot of stretch in the sidewall on a 10" wheel. I have 265/35 on 9.5" with a straight sidewall.

Perfect stance! We used to have an E36 that had 17 inch BBS RC non-staggered that we loved to death.

Let me know if you're bored with the wheels!

Do the H&R's for our cars have the removable perches that let them go lower? Deciding between H&R's and KW V1's..

by removable i think you meant adjustable. yes on the coilover and no on the cupkit.

No sir, I fully understand the difference between cup kits and coilovers, I've been doing this for longer than you may think

A lot of coilovers have "removable" (not needed) perches in the rears, which often times helps solve the issue of the rears not going low enough. If I'm not mistaken, H&R's normally have the issue of not going "low enough" (for some, myself included), however I believe they also have this perch that can be taken out. Seeing the OP's previous cars and what he goes for, I'm sure he's wanting to go lower soon, and I want to know if thats an option or if I should shell out the extra $200 for the KW's and get the height option I want.

Are you glad you went with the V2's over the V1's? Do you make much use of the adjustable dampening? Knowing they are generalized for all W203's makes me think the adjustable dampening might just come in handy there, but I'll almost definitely just go V1
