D2 racing coilovers I believe they were called. The wheels suit the car nicely I think. When I raise It back up I was thinking about getting the carbon fiber tristar center caps.
Nice is he running an LSD? Also what size are the rear tires? Thanks
Well, it's me behind the wheel and my car by that time. Now it is sold. No LSD, open diff. ESP holds quite well when you shoot straight even shut off. Tires were Vredestein UltracSessantas 235/40x18" and 265/35x18".
Heres couple of pictures of my new CLK I imported from Germany. I dunno why I'm so keen to those US sidemarkers but I had have those right away when I got it into garage.
I love manuals, wish mine was a manual. But the AMG automatic transmission is very good.
Yeah but my other potential choice is 400hp backed by a t56 6 speed, although a good 100lbs heavier.
I also must have had a bad experience trying out a C55 last fall as the transmission felt lazy and fairly slow(only 28k mile car so it wasn't old and tired at all). I need to get out and try another C/CLK soon.
Here is my CLK500 with secondary cat, muffler and resonator delete with an X-pipe (the rest is straight pipes). I get people telling me it sounds like an AMG and they're surprised when I tell them it's not! Enjoy!
Tell me about it, have only had the car about a year but driven lots of fun/fast toys in that time period and there is just something about the CLK that puts a smile on my face every time. Just noticed your gear shifter, if you don't mind me asking where did you get it?

It was 'loaned' to me by a good buddy. It's a real AMG Manufaktur shift knob and I believe was sourced out of Japan in 2001-2002.
They were crazy expensive at the time....around $400 IIRC.

must be a blast to drive these clk55s. Hope to test one soon.
