Looks great, what drop setup did you go with? How does it ride?

hey jim, recognize your car outside of that new Carshop Motorsport, are you apart of the new owners, or is it the old owners renaming themselves from VIP?

if I'm not mistaken I think he has his springs cut a little like mine but I don't remember which springs he has

my car ride fines....I have Koni Yellows so any spring will work excellent with my shocks, cut or regular

THANKS! Im on H&R springs, 1 coil cut all around with #4 pads front/#3 pads rear and Koni Adjustables like CLK FAN... front was way too hard to drive with when i had the #2 pads... As for the ride, 215/35/19 front and 235/35/19 rear is way too thin, no suspension can keep that riding smooth... I think im going to experiment with different tires after the camber wear claims these...

you want to cut half a coil all around

#2 and #3 pads or #1 and #2 pads

koni yellow shocks because you will not like the ride after 4 months on any other shock
