H&Rs with Bilstiens sitting on #3 pads in front and #4 pads in rear, not using any spacers, stock wheel setup. I would like to drop the car a little bit more, but I already scrap going into my garage.

Your car looks really really good. Exactly what I want mine to look like. What do you think about the ride quality with that set up? I wish I could get a really great cruising set up that cornered like beast. too bad there arent a lot of options for Bars and Braces for this car.

Are those the 18" rims?

I have got to get those turn signals

thanks

ride quality isn't bad. Kinda smoothens out bumps more then stock. However I'm used to having a really stiff suspension. My previous car was a GTI with a really stiff set up. So if you like the comfort of a stock c43 my setup may be a bit harsh, but corners pretty well. eibach springs are a bit softer, but won't handle as well. Same things with voglands. There is very little body roll with my H&Rs. As far as sway bars, there is eibach, and I think thats it. Now if money is no object, you can go with a custom suspension setup a la speedybenz. But thats a bit pricy.

As far as turn signals, try ebay.co.uk or ebay.co.de They are stock euro lights.
