I lowered my car 4 days ago (PICS)

I know the pictures are awful, that is what you get when u take a picture with a 1.1mp camera.

Ill try to get my friend to take some pictures with his real camera, but for now, here are the pictures


I really like this side better than the driver.

This pic is a bit blury but it shows the damage that they did to my wheel


Front

notice how this side sits just a tad bit higher

once again, i wish the rear sat down a little more

rear



in that picture the car does not look low, cause i took the pictures right away...but now the springs have settled a little bit, and the car sits lower...tell me what you think

i think i saw your ride at either bnzsport or club202, because i remember the wheels.

which springs did you use? shocks?

i have a 95 c280, and also have a set of eibach pro springs that im going to install at some point. probably with bilstein sport shocks. i just got new 16" wheels (sport replica)

i think i also remember that you went thru some pad swapping. thats the part that gives me the most concern.

thanks in advance for any info you can share. - benton

I bought H & R springs, along with Bilstein shocks, i replaced my pads from 3 to 2 in front, and 2 to 1 in rear cause i wanted a lower car. At the begining i was not satisfied cause it was not low enough for me, but i guess i can do #1 pad in front too, to drop it even further.

i regret that i did not get a chance to test my car, cause i have a bad head gasket and its leaking oil, which means i cannot put my engine under stress till i fix it....

but when it comes to ride quality some people said that they lost 75% comfort, but as for me its great, its a bit too soft, in my honest opinion..
