Hi folks, I have a 2002 W203 c270cdi estate, which has recently had front suspension work completed. The car is an elegance model with sports chassis, so I spec'd the springs as such, Sachs sports lowered for C270/C320cdi. The struts are also spec'd Bilstein B4 for this model, and I also got the strut mounts, and tie rods changed, Lemforder parts.
My gripe is the front seems to sit higher than before and the car has lost its sporty stance. The rear looks fine, with perfect wheel gap at the arch, the rims are AMG 17" 5 spoke, with wider rears by the way, but the front looks an inch higher on the wheel arch gap. It just looks dopey now.
Any advice or experience would be much appreciated, Thanks, David
