My CLK55 with Forgestar wheels and KW coilovers
Just want to share my recent purchases and great shop you guys can get mods done at! 
Pick up a 2005 CLK55 bone stock! I had to pull the trigger since 2005 was the year with bigger brakes, quad exhaust & last year coupe for 55 AMG.
So after about a month or so, I had the urge to do some mods. Heard nothing but great experiences and stories about Auto Talent for sometime so I decided to stop by.
Boy, well what can I say? I was glad that I chose Auto Talent... Was e-mailing Kevin@autotalent.com back and forth. He is very helpful and was quick to reply back.
I first checked in there for a full service since I had no clue what the previous owner had/have done.
The tech's quality of work is top notch. Usually, I am very picky in terms of what brand fluids etc. They use OEM or better quality products/fluids. And also FYI ask them about brake packages, they got great StopTech OE replacement brakes & BBK pricing. (Purchased StopTech OE replacements for my wife's BMW.)
Had absolutely no problems what-so-ever with Auto Talent. Very honest and offers top notch service.
So, after getting a statified full service completed for my car, I decided to order 19in Forgestar CF5 in custom gunmetal color & KW V2 coilovers. Wheel fitment was exactly how I wanted & KW coilover ride was also up to par!
Kevin was also great updating me status of my orders and got the parts on time as promised!
Auto Talent's amazing prices and service made it my go-to auto shop.
Wheels & Tires:
Forgestar CF5
19x8.5
19x10
Falken 452
235/35/19
265/30/19
Suspension:

Looks damn nice , just gotta do something with those orange sidemarkers now lol. If you end up getting the StopTech's, let me know...I'd be interested in buying your stock calipers!

Thank you! Yes, I have been thinking of getting rid of those ugly sidemarkers! I got StopTech OEM replacement rotors & pads for my wife's BMW. Not BBK for my CLK.
But browse around the classified section, I am sure something will pop up.

KW coilovers are amazing!!! KW ride compared to the OEM is night & day difference. Currently, my KW coilover setting is just perfect where I can have a great smooth ride and a bit of stiffness for taking those fun corners. Also love the fact that I can adjust my ride height & suspension settings whenever I feel the need to.
I recommend KW coilovers to anyone with all types of cars.
Why settle for less? They have life time warranty. KW pricing is reasonable (Thanks to Kevin@autotalent.com) and quality is superb.
Thank you very much!!

BRIZZOK84 the style of the wheels fits well with the car. How do you like the coil over kit?

I love the KW V2 coilovers. Rides very well and I can slam the car all the way down if I wanted...
Currently, I have no finger gap all around and rides smooth! Handling improved so much better than OEM.
I would had gotten KW V3 if they offered it but it only comes OEM for CLK63 Black Series. (OEM CLK63 Black Series Suspension is KW V3 which will not fit on regular CLKs)
