Slowly going from a new completly stock C 350. I told myself when I purchased my 2008 C350 almost two years ago new that I would leave it stock. Well its not working out that way. These are some of the mods that I have made so far. Finally got tires in today for my new wheels and the front tires were wrong size so yet again I go back again tomorrow but here are some pics of mods thus far and we mounted rear wheels just to check fitment and will actually have them mounted tomorrow for this weekends show.

rears look fairly stretched, planning on dropping it and using that stretch to create clearance?

Hey Riggs thanks for fixing the pics. Yeah Im gona drop it after I make sure we have enough clearance. Front tires were 235/35/20 and didnt clear suspension so Im going with a 225/30/20. It will have some strech to it but will clear it all better.

how wide are the wheels?
hum C-class on air? could be hot. Going fast is over rated is all about going slow to give everyone a chance to see you.

I am a dealer for H&R and Eurotek so I can get the springs very low in cost. I knew people were having probs with the 20s rubbing and I ran into probs with front tires hittin the suspension. I waited to make sure that I would not have any rubbing. Know I know so that will be my next install.

Awesome, how low are the Eurotek springs?

Euroteks will lower it 1.4 in front and rear. Not looking to have to roll any fenders. I think the H&Rs are something like 1.5 in lower than stock. Shouldnt need much to lower it.
