So I got it lowered...

Haven't actually seen the car yet, but these r some pics my wrench sent me.

I think I'll either raise the rear or lower the front - what you guys think?

Luv it - drive it every chance. Same with Jason; he's given his other cars a rest and mostly drives the C.

Thanks bud for helping me check on 18 or so cars.

Thanks to all the other guys who gave me advice.

Anyways I'm tired as I took a 3 am 6hr train ride into CT, picked the car up and drove 6 hrs back to MD.

Here's a pic from the dealer's website..

Well, I just signed the contract a couple of hours ago for a C43. Will be picking it up after Easter with a full service done (including gearbox oil and filter of course). First time I drove this car. Wow a monster lurking under the hood- Very impressive. Will post some photos after picking it up. Just noticed that the US versions sit much higher than the European versions, before being lowered.
Have been reading a lot on this forum and love it!!

Because America doesn't give a rat's *** about their own roads, compared to Europe.
