i bought a set of used and cut h&r from hinz (thankx dawg). i tihnk they are cut 1 coil. but you be the judge.

i'm using #3 F and #2 R pads. i' gonna increase the rear ones to level it out. prolly to #4 or something.

the ride is great. just like stock. well less floating and less body roll. but handling, what lean? ok maybe a lil while drifting. ;)

well i got stock shocks. i'm gonan get bilstiens if yall open a broke MB college student fund. :)

ok so i've driven 100 miles so far. stock shocks (87k miles) seems to be good for now. no civic-like bouncing, no weird stuff goin on. feels just like stock.

you know what I like about MB's? lowered on stockies still looks good. almost like it came from the factory like that. :)

hey bro, you gotta lose that fubu antenna though. ;)

xm is pretty cool, but that antenna has to go! LOL. also, save up a few bucks and have you factory antenna shaved off. much nicer. i really hated that thing on my C280. thankfully i dont have anyhthing visible on my car now. :D

yes i disabled my stock antenna cuz i never listen to local radio anymore anyways. so i might take it out later when i get ready to paint some stuff. xm, still trying to look for the small pioneer ones.
