Sold my C207, got a family car back
just lowered it with H&R lowering springs.
now looking for 20” rims, AMG, Vossen or Brabus. Suggestions are welcome

I can see them in my album? But don’t appear in the post?
After you chose the pic and it loads in the photo page, did you upload it as your last step? If the resolution is not too large, it will insert into the thread.
I guess, congrats, but I can't see much of a difference? Why would you need to lower a car that is already pretty low? I hope you have the 360 degree camera in your car? (Never mind, I see you do)
It took it 4cm down on the rear and 4.5cm front, if you zoom in on the rear wheel, you”ll see the gap is more than halved
I think it looks really nice. Has it impacted comfort on the roads? I'd love to go in that direction, but lowered springs and 19" wheels make me nervous as hell what with the roads in NYC (poor infrastructure, potholes, construction, road seams, manhole covers that are either 3 inches too high or too low but never flat, and metal plates everywhere to presumably pipe work underground). Instead, I'm not wondering if I might like to use 5-10mm wheel spacers to flush out the wheel wells a little bit. Thoughts?
Car looks great. I like the lowered look, though I am partial to the wheels you have now. I have the diamond pin grill on my coupe, I like it. Jury is still out on the Panamericana.
beautiful. I would have purchased this if available in the US. and even if it was, they probably wouldn't allow the AMG line. I was seriously looking at the C350e when it was briefly available here but was turned off by the non amg look.
The wheels are factory AMG. I think they are ok for 19” the comfort of the car didn’t change much after lowering, however it has got improved handling, due to the lower center of gravity. But you need to be careful on speed bumps as your bottom front can scrape the road coming back down when going to fast. But other than that it’s a great improvement. Regarding the grill I like the panamericana, however I have a strong preference for OEM, so it will probably become diamond. As Mercedes doesn’t have one for the W213 (yet?)
The 20” wheels is my biggest challenge, I would like to stick to AMG, but I’m not fully sold on the designs. On my C207 I was very happy with my BRABUS Monoblock R, but to buy the same wheels again? I also sort of like the Vossen, (maybe the HF1 Graphite?) but I really need to see them IRL, I’m scared it will look more midrange (like BBS and likes) than high end. But maybe I’m mistaken. Anyway all first world problems.

Both are very nice options. Decisions, decisions....
LOVE the blue calipers on the hybrids, one of my favorite touches they did. Shame it isn't going to stay, they will be going back to silver on most cars.
Thnx! Up next this month is mercedes factory alarm and C43 exhaust tips
I’ve just had my Hertz Amp and JL Audio woofer build in in the trunk again, finally decent bass again.
next month the diamond grille and then hopefully have made up my mind on the wheels, but I strongly lean to BRABUS MonoBlock R or F

Your 350 is looking amazing. I would also love to put that grille on my E220d. Did you fit it yourself or did your dealer do it for you? may i ask was it expensive? Is it just a "back part" or is it the "whole nose"?
Hi Michael, I ordered everything here https://www.kunzmann.de/shop/de/tuni...rgrill-gitter/ and had it installed by Steve (Mbenz.nl)
installation was about 2 hours, bumper needs to be dissambled, not something I wanted to try myself.
Love the lowered look! How is your camber? Did you check your alignment or get a camber kit? Without a camber kit on my Infiniti I was replacing tires every 8-10k miles.
