Sad thing it rubs though. How is the ride compare to stock AMG spring? Softer?
Thanks for being the first slk55 with a drop. You're paving the way.

Sauceboy, I'll take pics in the next few days.....
dsb, zaint.... I don't know that much, the only thing I do know is that the ride is somewhat the same if not a little bit better on the softer side... but it may just be my brain playing with me. are they progressive? hmm.. i don't know that either.
I do know that at 100+ mph it felt like 60 or 80... not that I go that fast a lot

Guys, here's the scoop.
If you have 19's then don't even bother with these springs. I talked to chris and the springs will most likely be coming off. If you have 18's, I envy you at this point.
Who ever wants them I'll let them go for $200 shipped. By the time they're off they haven't been even used for a few weeks.
Let me know.........

Ouch...!!
Thats sucks man... Sorry to hear that. The drops does look really good though.
Hope you will get rid of them soon. If I haven't gotten 19'' I would probably buy them from you.

Wish i could lower mine a bit but i can barley get in or out of my driveway without the front lip and/or exhaust tips scraping

Looks awesome. I don't understand why you are rubbing? we installed a set of Brabus springs on a SLK55 with HRE 449R wheels a few weeks ago and no rubbing at all.

Is it possible that rubbing are results from having the difference in offset sizes? I wonder.....

I don't have PS2's, I have Pirelli Rosso's. It would be nice to keep the set up, it looks killer and I'll save a few hundred in swapping the springs again. Neal, can you chime in brotha? Has the SLK350's that you guys did have rolled fenders?
I mainly notice the rubbing when I have a passenger and am going around a very sharp turn and when going over big bumps.
