C207 Elegance 2010 Raphie
Hi, my name is J.J. I'm 45 years old and bought a Nov 2010 C207 E200 CGI (207.348) April this year. I'll post my full datacard later, but here are the highlights so far
Added after purchase:
BRABUS B20 Tuning
BRABUS Monoblock R 19" 235/35 and 275/30 Pirelli P ZERO MO
BRABUS Race poke
Bilstein B12 sport kit lowering / suspension
Eisenmann Race exaust system
Replaced after purchase:
Chrome bumper strips front and rear
Chrome window door covers L&R
Replaced lights with 2012 DRL's
Grill (was cracked)
Door windows (scratched)
Rear bumper paintjob (was ugly spot repair
Pedals (rubber to mercedes sport)
Mats Mercedes AMG
Middle console cover + rollo
Steering wheel (same wheel, just new, as i hate shiney plasticy wheels)
Just had a big service A/B (did everything since there was no history)
And had the automatic gearbox oil replaced
Car now has run 71k KMs and I love it to bits

About 3cm's compared to the SACHS.
It's very stiff now, drives like a BMW
With the BRABUS Monoblock R's it's as low as it can be without rolling out fenders, for family use that is. Tank full, wife and 2 kids and trunk fully loaded for holiday was the wheels scraping on bumps. I had to fill my tank half max on the way back
So yes, showroom mode you might go 2cm lower, daily driver and family car this is as low as it gets if you want things to remain practical.

Yes, I agree with you.
I think you are refering to the rear, and, in that matter I think it's alright.
But . . . I still say that in the front it could be a little lower.
Mine has the AMG Package and is lower than yours, at least juddging by the photos, that's why I think I will not get it lower with the Eibach's !!!???

With the Bilstein kit the height between the front and rear wheel differs 0.5cm
So right behind the frontwheel car base to floor is 0.5cm lower than just before the rear wheel. The stance of the SACHS was 1cm difference. But the rear of the car was higher, bit of "dukes of hazard" effect.
With a B14 kit I would probably had lowered the front just a bit more (screw)
But it drives great and I'm happy with how it looks. When talking to the dealer they told me that the front couldn't go lower anyway with these wheels as on bumpy turns they could run against the car

Nope, but I'm fortunate to know a car guy with access to all the tools: MbenzNL
Next step: facelift instrument display, so media and carplay are supported on the screen behind the steering wheel as well.
All of this stuff is not cheap, but you get something special for the years ahead.

C207 e200CGI - More upgrades coming
Today we're going to replace the matrix dashclocks with the MOPF one.
White backpanels and colorscreen, enabling the full NTG5s1 visual support on the 2nd screen.
I've also purchased 2 sets of Hertz Mille 165.3 MPK Pro compo sets to upgrade the factory speakers. Very curious how that will turn out.
