got my new wheels on today!

i got my 19" Brabus Monoblock V's installed today. 19x8.5 +35 front and 19x9.5 +35 rear with 235/35/19 and 275/30/19 Nitto 555R tires. i'm very happy with them and it rides much better than it did with the 18" monoblocks and crappy no-name tires.

i definitely want to drop it about an inch now. would Euro springs and #1 pads give me that?

Spring shim

Looks great!! You talking about 4 shims for about $30 and a 0.63in drop vs 740Euro for the springs and a 1.5 in drop. Its all depands on what you want. H&R is much cheaper.

But H&R is much stiffer too. try firs spring pads # 1 first and see what happen. anyway Euro Springs are the best way to lower this car (other option is KW Variant) but to much expensive 2k +/-

that's kind of what i started thinking. i don't want to go real low and that's the cheapest way.

I got them on ebay. Matches the color of the car perfect. It only took me couple of minutes to put them on and it looks awesome
