springs, shocks with carlsson 2/5??

hi. im thinking of getting the carlsson 2/5's. i want to get it soon but i may have to wait till next month. so for now, i guess i will do the springs and shox first. how much can i lower my car if i am going to get these wheels? and what else should i get before getting the wheels? i want the car lowered before i get wheels for a perfect fit. any suggestions? thanks.

There are a lot of different brands of springs and shocks, I have H&R Sports Springs for my 320 and I cut half coil to make the car even lower. Bleisten shocks should be the one your looking for and you can also change spring pads to lower the car after you've changed the springs.

Go for 19" Carlsson 2/5 staggered and drop the car, it'll look totally awesome. I had my car lowered after I put my 18" AMG on, you should ask the shop where you're getting your car lowered about lowering your car with 19"s. You can lower the car much more with 18"s, but believe me you'll regret later like I am, go for 19" all the way.

Post some pictures when your car is done Put an exhaust system maybe?

I have Evosport Stage II Suspension. Bilsteins are probably going to be too harsh of a ride for you, so they go with Koni Adj. It comes with sway bars as well. Email me if you need any help.
