Arrow 99 W208

im looking into free hosting on the net to upload pix, I find the 100X100 size restriction being ridiculously to small.
I drive a 320 W208 silver..
this week @ 190,000 Km il be changing the steering damper, break fluid (0.5L) Coolant flush, fuel filter, cabin filter and fixing passenger window.

Future plans for end of march:
Eibach Anti-Roll Bars: 2533.320
H&R Cup Kit
Pilot 9000 Rubbers

I have a question. Will there be a need to purchase the camber kit after the drop is made? Im thinking pad #1 Front #2 Rear sitting on stock 7X16 rims

any comments appreciated..
i drive and see high potential within the chassis and only a good suspension/rim/performance tire setup this car demands/deserves

you won't NEED a camber kit. i don't have a camber kit and i've noticed a 3k difference in when my tires (s03's) get bald.

buy some new wheels. those 16" wheels would look pretty nasty after the drop

Cool

totally agree...

im tempted towards the Racing Hart C5 EVO 17x7F
18x7.5R

I drove an 4.4L today on sport suspension and thinking about it, the blisten stort shocks with Eibatch sport springs
less likely to need camber kit +1K saved..

i love the W208 vs W209 the rear lights on the new model killed it...
