So picked me up a c280, never really bothered to make another build thread but now that i think of it, i think i have enought photos to show... i know there are not enough c280's on here so ill do my best to detail the build with photos for future reference (mine and others)
so here it goes.
PS to all the ******.... i really dont care... everyone else, enjoy.

here is when i just picked it up, paint pealing, but whatever..
Picked me up some borbet type A's for the benz
17x8.5 et 17 17x10 et20
they were kinda trashed, so i sand blasted them and polished the lips.
Cut 2 and 1/4 of rear springs off and mounted the rear borbets..
17x8.5 et 17 17x10 et20 talk about perfect fitment.
Mounted tires on it, but didnt really like how they came out , its just not the right wheel for c280.... they looked betterwith tires off..
after i went back to stock LTW wheels, and a dropped rear, i realized something... to take front springs off u need a special KLANN compressor, and no way around it without loosing your teeth.. SO it just so happened a good local friend HWY HNTR had a spring compressor! BIG BIG BIG shout out to my homie for his help.... it was a fun time!
so as it sits, i cut 2.5 coils in front and 2.25 the back....
Sitting flush next to HWY HNTR's w124!
i was really happy with the results of the drop! it still rides fine, still a benz feel, handles better, and not bouncy like a civic on coilovers...which is exactly what i wanted out of an ideal static drop...
so later i found a really slick deal on some AMG style 170's that i couldnt pass up, so picked them up and mounted same day. sorry for low quality pics,
i must say i like these wheels alot more than the borbets..... so look in the forsale section of stanceworks in the near future, the borbets will be up for sale.
Decided that the woodgrain has seen better days in the c280 and i wrapped them in carbon fiber. , came out really awesome!
As of today, this is how the car sit....
in the near future if i decide to keep the car i plan on 20mm spacers in the rear, fix little dings dents etc and matte silver vinyl wrap.
so here it goes.
