W208 Lowering in the North West??

[tpwuk]

If I wanted to lower my CLK, are there any "one stop shops" in the North West where they will supply and fit all the components I would need? Whilst I go and read the paper in a Starbucks / Costa for example?

It looks spot on as it is. However if it feels "wrong" with you thats good enough for me.
Good Luck with your search for the right "garage" next to a Starbucks/Costa.

Thanks John

I'm just clueless when it comes to this and the thought of having to source all the bits n pieces myself doesn't appeal and there's zero chance of me carrying out the installation! I think the front of the car sits right but I think the rear wheels look a bit lost in the arches. I was told about using spacers to address that, so that'll probably be my first port of call.

Does IBW supply and fit shocks & springs etc??

Fit a set of Bilstein B12 coil-overs, lowers the car by 50mm. A walk in the park for Ian

How does that effect the ride. Currently with the 18" Wheels I can tell when I've driven over an ants knee cap!

at the moment it does look a bit high. i just had my car lowered and you do notice bumbs a bit more but thats about it, i have always had 18's on all my cars i had 16's on the old 202 and it felt wierd... i suppose it what your used to

I've not got these (yet!!) but others have reported a much better ride at speeds over ~20mph with the harder hits much better smoothed and controlled.

Being lowered I don't think it will ever be as smooth as, say, the ride from the Elegance set-up
