my neighbour has a C200 which he has lowered quite a bit. Although it looks nice. The smoothness when driving the Merc has gone and its a very rough ride.

No problem.
The vehicle has been modified to give looks which while aesthetically pleasing, are detrimental to performance. That thing will have about 20mm of suspension travel and would cast you off a corner at the first sign of mid corner ripples or corrugations. Fine for a race vehicle that only runs on smooth tracks, close to dangerous on a road going vehicle. |

2. in every respect; just: not exactly the same then :P That said, it looks very nice, but I think perhaps a little odd, the lines of the wheel don't quite go with the lines of the body any more.
