I still gots them.. but have to fix one as the lip is bent and cracked from a pot hole. so out of comission till I get a replacement lip. then I will most likely sell them. they are a nice wheel.. but they are just too much of a hassle for me. will stick with an 18" for now, maybe upgrade again to a 19" in the future. roads are horrible over here.. just keep getting worse.Originally posted by jnolte

96 c230k sport, completely standard shocks and springs, 18's.
The back looks high but it's not really, it's because the drive is wonky!!
(not the best pic I know, need to take the car to some nice locations!)
As many know, I'm ride'n on the speedybenz kit (see the link in my sig). Full description < HERE >.
On my 2000 C230 Kompressor Sport, I'm running H&R Sport springs, Bilstein Sport shocks with #4 pads in the front and #1 pads in the rear. And I'm still sporting the stock six-spoke 16" wheels that come with the Sport package.
Prior to lowering my car, I did not know about adjusting the height with pads, so my rear looks like it sits lower than the front. Ideally, I should run #1 or #2 pads in the front with #4 pads in the rear. But all of this no longer matters as I need to raise my car to the 4x4 stock height as I am moving back to San Francisco, home of rough streets, pot holes and continous "street improvement." Also, my soon to be new driveway is too steep.
When I raise my car to stock height, I'll put #1 pads in the front and #3 pads in the rear, so the car sits slightly lower than stock.
I'll take before (lowered) and after (raised) pictures, and post them in June.
In mid-June, let me know if you want to purchase a set of H&R Sport springs. (I'm still too far away on the number of posts to be eligable to post to the classifieds section.)
