Outstanding wheels, love the split spoke design. It's both classy and sporty. Great choice in design. Never heard of VIP Modular so can't speak on quality but they look great.

nice looking car. what is funny is i almost bought that same color car prior to buying my w209. if it had been silver it would have been sold. i like that color too i just had my mind set on silver.

currently I am running H&R sport front and rear w/ 1/2 coil cut in rear, Billstein HD shocks, and DOT1 spring pads front and rear.
I have the KW V2 coilovers on order, and should be on my car no later than next week =)
It rides stiff, which I like.
Yeah....the cars in the pic are just some of the ones in my crew.

you will love the kw's. i roll the v1's and the ride is perfect. prepare to get some spacers for the front. you will need at least 10mm or they will not clear the coilover. just trying to save you some time.

I went to my shop and asked about any fitment issues with the KW V2 coilovers. The W209 has issues, however, the W208 does NOT. So....WHEW!!!

that is cool. when i went to put on my stock 17'' AMG wheels they hit the coilover. with the 10mm spacers i was able to clear the coilover by about a quarter of an inch which is more than enough.
sorry to scare you but better to be safe than sorry.

it rides almost no differently than compared to when I had my 19's on. I can feel just a tad bit more road if anything.
don't do this if you don't like a STIFF ride.
