2012 C63 SEDAN - H&R SPRINGS, PLASTIDIP FORGESTARS AND LED'S
 

Well, got the springs on and I can't say enough about them, and haven't even put enough miles on yet to get to thoroughly know them.

Ride a bit stiffer than stock, but you can not tell a lot - I personally love the new feel. Turn-in is amazing now, no more sloshy suspension feel and the car just feels amazingly sprung - has definitely brought life to it.

Otherwise, the car is filthy - my apologies. Took the plunge and decided to try this plastidip nonsense. Have to say, comes out pretty damn nicely, and is really fun to spray and peal... Want to powdercoat my wheels black, and this is a great way to get a realistic preview without losing an arm and a leg on the cost of painting the wheels up-front. While I was at it, I also sprayed the front LED chrome housings and the 6.3 emblem behind the front tires...everything came out PERFECTLY, but decided I like the 6.3 badge too much to cover it up. Contemplating removing the stuff off the DRL LED's.

BTW, haven't noticed any rubbing yet.

Cheers!

pretty damn hot

Love the black fog LED!! The drop is a bit too low, but if it doesn't rub it's all good.

As for the wheels, I would leave them gunmetal.. Too dark for my taste. Great job!

Nice drop. The title says coilovers and the post says you got springs - which one is it then?
Looks great but I would leave the wheels gunmetal :y
Also I think You need some spacers in the front.
The rear wheels are pretty flush with the fenders but the fronts seem tucked in.

Sorry springs, not coilovers...woops! Feel like a total retard lol

^^ really only springs? Wow, that is slammed for H&R.. Much lower than pre-facelift C63. I was going to say raise it a bit.. Lol

Thanks! I'm loving it.

Yeah, I really want to do them black, but also love the way they are now..just stuck on what to do. Damn mod bug.

Yeah, don't know if I trust spacers...in retrospect, I wish I had ordered the fronts with a 37 or 40 offset instead of the factory 45...

Yup...I think it's perfect. The big question comes when I have 4 people in the car.

BTW, got real lucky with my license plate renewal...couldn't believe that it hadn't been taken.

Great stance....love the blackout around the LEDs...makes it look very stealth

Good job!

I'm getting ready to drop mine on h&r's. I just purchase the 17mm sprig pads from my local dealer. That drop since lower than usual, I wonder what made it look lower.

I don't know...maybe it's the 19'' wheels?

What's the thickness of the stock spring pads?

love it! Looks amazing :P!

Stock pads are 13mm.

sweet car! I think you should tint your tail lights a bit

More pics please ......car looks awesome :y

yea, more pics man. lol

Thanks for the compliments guys!

I refer to her as my second wife....lol

Won't do tail lamps for liability reasons, although I do agree that it would look good.

As to pics, will try to snap some tomorrow...you guys are funny.

Ask and you shall receive!

Plasti dip is off the wheels and LED's this time around...

The wheels look so much better gunmetal.. Good choice!

As for the fogs, i vote black.

looks great

amazing look ride.

thanks guys! will consider re-spraying the LED's, but IMO, it changes the look of the front end...can't explain it.

I also plasti-dipped the front foglights. Made a huge difference. I agree, can't exactly put my finger on it but it just did. I like the way mine look so I've kept them black.

I prefer the original gunmetal rims but good call on blacking out the fog light housing. How come you didn't do the window trims?

yeah, thinking about going back to black...i guess what they say is true!

honestly, because I like the chrome on the windows...also, it would be much better to put vinyl on instead of plastidip since the chrome extends below the rubber seal
