I actually just got my car back. I had my mechanic do the install, he said it wasn't bad as long as you have all the parts laid out and together haha. Good luck tho, you're going to love it. My car responds so much better now

Btw, that's a sick roof rack, what brand is it? Wonder if it will fit my w209

its yakima, i added a bunch of stickers to the fairing.... i used to have an '05 CLK 500, this model fits many cars with the right shoes for the towers. the W209 has screw holes on top if i remember correctly, those have a different tower.

P.S. i have a stock 500 muffler do you want it? for like 40 bucks? PM me

nice! Did you grind inner tabs in the rear? According to photos your rear ETs are ~35, aren't they?

I'm not the biggest fan of lowering like crazy.... i like comfort, no rubbing and, fresh look. i thought i was riding on the softest damping settings, turns out its on 1's all around! still an improvement on ride quality over stock IMO

Looks good man. What size rims and tires did you run. I had 19x9.5 with 265/30 and I couldn't stop rubbing on my rear driver side. Worst part it was rubbing in the middle if the tire. I resorted to buying new spring thinking maybe that side had lost some rigidly and when that didn't work I removed the liner to gain an extra half inch of clearance. So frustrating.
