How to go from 17'' to 19'' (suspension)

i'm changing my wheels to 19'' soon and i want to know what i need to do with my suspension. i want to lower the car so i don't have that much gap between the tire and the body. exactly what parts do i need to get? what brands are good? and how much is it going to cost me?

thanks

Jon,

Did you send your chip to get reprogrammed? Who installed your pulley? Any concerns about the warranty if an issue arises due to the modified chip settings or extra boost? Or that a dealer will give you a hard time in general?

Thanks.

I sent my ECU to Renntech for reprograming. I installed the pulley kit myself. I have 52K miles on my car, today is the first time I've have had to take my car to the shop for a performance issue.

I can't go WOT, the car will display ESP and lose all drive. I must turn the engin off , then restart the engin. Boost does not come back for about 30 sec..

Got my results from the dealer. It appairs that there is a TAS case open on this issue for C32s.

The error codes are: P2032, P207, P202E, P202S and P203B. They point to 2 parts; Throtle Valve Actuator and the Charge Pressure Sensor. The dealer is not going to change these parts until MB tells them to do so.

I test drove the car for the tech and the car ran fine. :

Thanks for the info Jon!

Don't you just hate when you get to the dealer and the car runs fine for them...

Was the dealer aware of your mods? Did they say anything about them?

Thanks.
