Default 98 c280 help

hi i need help with my 1998 c280. its actually my cousins car that he gave to me. he lowered the car and i found out that when i make sharp turns the tire scratches the fender. is there any way to prevent this? my friend was teling me about rolling fenders?!? but he wasnt sure if they made it for my car.

rolling the fenders would probably be the only thing i could think of or adjusting ur car higher but i wouldnt do that cause it would ruin the nice lowered look i would probably bring it to a shop and let them do it also out of curiousity whats ur suspension setup and what size rims u have

i have the stock mb rims. im assuming there probably 15 or 16. im not totally sure about the suspension. i just got the car like a couple of weeks ago but im assuming there lowered suspension with probably coilovers cause its a low drop.

Do you like the handling of the car? 'cause a solution I would consider is new spings and shocks. If you have '15's and they're scraping, that sounds slammed. I won't tollerate a suspension that beats me up, but looks great. If its a daily driver, I recommend a compromise
between ride height and comfort. My 2 cents.

w202 cant have coil overs, its not mcpherson strut setup.

You cars springs must be cut, that sounds low, shouldent run with stock wheels

you can get your fender rolled for 50-80 dollars a fender
