What do you guys think.
Hey guys,
I had to post this here so that I could get more exposure.
How much should I drop the car by? 1 inch? 1.5? 2 inches?
Thanks

Are you keeping the wheels on the car now? If so, drop it 1 inch. It will snug up the wheel gap and not give ya a harsh ride. Now....If you don't care about ride quality, slam that thing :-)

you live in CA, most of the roads are bumpy, don't slam it. My 2 cents.

2" but thats just me, i like my cars slammed. the lower you go, the harsher the ride, but it looks and handles better (lower center of gravity)

You have adjustable coilovers? I say try 1" and see how you like it. At least 1" if anything at all. I think you'll like it.
From the look of your pics, I'd go 1.5 or 2 but that's just me and I live in Cali but a small town with very nice roads so I can get away with it.

I'd leave it where it is and get rid of the Mercedes wheels.

eIBACH,eIBACH,Eibach
If you want to get closure between your fender and wheel and keep your ride quality go with Eibach pro line.I have had them on my car for over a year with stock shocks and the ride is excellent.If ride comfort is not an issue then go with intrax, but you will have to replace your struts with KYB.I hope this helps.
