The wheels are 18". I should have gone 17" as Jono says as it would have the same aspect ratio.
Also a more balanced look than the 17"
Springs are H&R. I kept the standard shocks as I didn't need to replace them at the time. I also have a full set of rubbers I got from Jono
which I plan to install when I replace the shocks.
Truly amazing difference in handling, that is predictable, stable and sporty enough for a coupe like this.

Are your wheels 17 or 18 inch? How much did you lower your SEC?

I have always wondered why we would go to the trouble of getting a 560SEC or some other fine German engineered car and then get out the blowtorch and start modifying the great design? Just my opinion.

Why do you want to go through all that?
The car is not build for that.
First it cost you a lot of money and tires and wheels are also a lot more expensive to maintain and the car would look cheap.
Just my opinion.
