98 C200 Elegance Lowering

[Benjamin w202]

Hi , i have recently thrown on some 18" Amg wheels (225/40/18) front and rear and need opinions on some things i should do ,
-Brand of springs
-Amount of drop the springs should give
-keep the current shocks or change to bilstein etc
-any other further modifications

Also i was rather concerned about a suspension part that is around only 2 finger width away from the tyre side wall (pictured)

if you lower your car you need shorter shox
if your factory shox are worn out cut your factory springs 1½ - 2 coils

get koni/vogtland or h&r/bilstein combo
find out what other people like?

you'll need camber arms if you drop your car if you want correct rear tire wear

2 finger gap is stock height on euro amg's
1 finger gap gives a peffect look on my car
