New to the C55 crowd here in Louisiana.
Hello all Happy to finally own a C55 have wanted one for years. Will take some photos of my baby soon. Picked it up cheap Nice wheels but somebody did a number on the springs. Oh well any advice is greatly appreciated on suspension. Have looked also what is the difference in the E55 diff and the C55 diff other than ratio?

Thanks, It really does. Want to enjoy it before I do any upgrading. Have a few small things to fix. But car is a blast.

No shocks are good but somebody heated the factory springs. Smh. So looking at HR springs and some number 4 shims.
