Its not a major hastle as I would hope you try to avoid potholes anyway. Speed Humps I have to slow down more. You will have to be careful parking with normal sidewalk height curbs up front.

You must be a ninja to drive a lowered car with 19" rims, if not you will be spending a lot of $$$$$$$$$$$$ on rims and tires....

Good point. I never thought of the 19 part. I have stock Monoblocks and the wheel size looks fine. Other W202's had 15"' so the +2 up size look is already there. Not sure you would need to go 19".

Hah, i went from stock diameter 29" to 30.7" tires on the ML so I can tear through anything. I'm going to have to drive to a different paradigm. I can literally go 40+ over 25mpg speed bumps.. it just doesnt phase it.

I have 19" rims and just lowered my car, let me tell you I became a ninja over night because I HAD TO.

i love the image. Crunnnnnch! Good thing I have had lowered tuners before or I'd be in real trouble. I think I'm gonna stay with 18's and just a mild drop. Regardless of my potential for ninjaness.
