Car lowering

[Milkbread]

Hi, any brothers or sisters lowered their W176? Can kindly share your setup?

 

My current ride is a A180 with 18" 225/40/18 tires.

 

The wheel gap is kind of big, about 3 fingers worth (~50mm).

I'm looking to lower it maybe to about 20-30mm gap only, and so far looking at KW street comfort coils or the Bilstein B12 pro kit.

 

Hope to hear from others on their setup and ride comfort.

 

Thanks!

Hi bro, what 18" rims are u using. Was thinking of upgrading the stock 17" to 18" but am concern on the comfort when full load with family. What is the correct wheel size. Saw that there are various; 8 X 18 and 8.5 X 18?

Hi bro, I using some taiwan rim from AL tire. If the sales guy was correct, must use 18x8. As they have a lot of 18 x 7 rims which he say cannot fit. The 18 x 8 fits like a glove! Comfort level immediately drop a little bit, only when going over very bumpy roads. Hope this helps!
