My Lowered Q-Ship Bluetec

Daily driver is complete...

Lowered via Votglands springs and sitting on 20' Vossens. The ride is perfect and the drop is still conservative and not overly slammed. Below are some before and after lowering pics:

Nope. Both front and back lowered the same 1.5". What you are seeing stock forward rake MB designed into the car. In fact, if you look at the before photos you will see the same difference between front to back.

That's correct. The Vogtland springs drop both front and back the same 1.5/1.6"

The reason it appears lower in the front is also attributed to the chrome accent piece which you kept on the side of the car which visually enhances the stance because it is angled down from rear to front. We both have the same springs and chrome piece. I got mine done last week and I really like the way she sits.

Your car looks sweet man those wheels really go with the paint. Enjoy

Nice, very clean, and not at all overbearing, is it a stiff or soft ride now? I always like the W212's in white-just looks clean IMO, the tires seem to pop more with the contrast of black and white-and the rims you chose really seem to accent-add to that contrast more than any other color IMO.

Rides great. I struggle to tell any difference at all. I also think thy work well with the 20's. With the lore pro tires the suspension becomes the weakest link. The springs likely counteract this!

Not a fan of the wheels, but the stance looks great. Makes me lean more to 20's than 19's.
