1999 C43 AMG
Love the 18" on a C43 as they fit the wheel well so beautifully and with a slight decrease in ride hight on top, gives the car an overall perfect stance IMO. Real mean looking. This will definitely be my future upgrade for wheels. They seem color coded with the car... Is this so?

1.) vogtland
2.) eibach
3.) h&r
4.) KW
The KW is supposed to be the ***** but the kit is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoo expensive (like $1800-$2000) and it really is for the track.
The eibach springs are supposed to be good and I have previous experience with eibach and I loved them
The h&r springs are supposed to be good but I heard they sag over time
The vogtland kit I have heard nothing but good things and the kit is pretty cheap ($650 = springs + shocks) plus every picture of a C43 I have seen with the vogtland kit looks GREAT....
I decided to go with the vogtland kit and I will post pics and results as soon as I can, probably wont be for a little while.....

1.4 in the front and 1.3 in the rear. I rub a bit over big bumps on the freeway at 70mph.
I'm going to roll my fenders next week and see how that goes. Might need to run 10mm front pad and 15mm rear. We'll see.

Yeah... I 'm going with the Vogtland kit which is a 1.4" drop and I will add the bigger pads to bring it closer to 1". Thanks for your input

eclectic assortment of cars
Front fenders are factory rolled! When I installed the new fenders for my paint job, I had to roll them a tad to conform with the instructions particular to the car. There's not a lot of scope for further rolling, as there is factory seam sealer in there. And I think the rears are similar, there's not much of a lip there to roll. Now pulling them out or flaring a bit, there's a possibility of that I think.
