I have a set of 18's coming next week, its gonna be 18x8 with 225/40/18 fronts and 18x9 255/35/18 for the rears.
I'm curious if anybody has the same setup and what kinda suspension setup you guys are using.. some pics would be nice !! thanks...

I used to run an 18x8 18x9 ET 35 setup with 225/40/18 and 255/35/18 on some carlsson 1/5s

worked great

Now i run 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 ET 40 with 225/35/19 and 265/30/19 no rubbing, but lookin to get some 5mm spacers

Im running H&R springs with Bilstien shocks, this is a C43

kwik, jnolte, do you notice a big difference in ride quality, comparing to stock?? any rubbing ?? did u put any pads?? if yes, what number? or what u recommend for a 94 c280? any pic??
sorry for all the questions, but Its going to cost me 300 bucks to install spring/schock, so I wanna get it right first time...
thanks for all your replies...

With the 18s i ran H&Rs cut one coil with #1 pads all around, it was LOW.


With the 19s i have Non cut H&Rs with 3 pads front 4 rear

Al w202s have pads on, you have to figure out which ones you have, There arelittle rubber bumps on teh pads. 1 bump = number 1 pad

Are you trying to slam your car or what?

[94benZo]

no.. just wanna have it sit just right with no space between the fender and the tires, or maybe a little... I also don't wanna sacrifice the ride quality too much. can i check the pad type without removing the springs ? where would I look??
thanks

[94benZo]

anybody suggest a website where I can get these springs?? beside ebay ofcourse...
