Then you got lucky, but I wouldn't want to assume that is the norm for future business with them.

Toadster

a friend of mine got a set of these on his SLK - they look pretty darned nice...

Spyder Auto PRO-YD-MBW21103-HID-DRL-BK Black LED Projection Headlight $413/ea

so far they've been rock solid on his car - anyone else have experience with Spyder products?

I really wanted to get those on my E55, but I read a review that they were dim. Is your buddy happy with the projection/brightness?

Toadster

yes, he's been really happy with them, he loves the look and says he can see better than his old OEM setup - some of it probably depends on the bulbs/kelvin you use as well..

Well I threw a S/C belt today and I have the smaller eurocharged pulley. Would the gates tight fit belt be ideal? I was just wondering if the extra pressure would cause more stress on the S/C bearing. Any opinions.

Toadster

the 505 belt seems to fit mine just right

Can anyone give some feedback on the quality and reliability of Dorman Control arms? I just purchased them for each side and by the looks of them I'm not to keen on putting them on the vehicle. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Hey Toad. Which of the belt tensioners you have listed is for the SC Belt?

Toadster

should be one of these - E55 AMG Belt Tensioner Assemblies

ranging in price from $108 to $120

BagMan

How about this one?

Toadster

yup! 1/2 price!

BagMan

Got the part today, but the tensioner quoted is for the drive belt, not the supercharger. Looks like the SC tensioner is way more $$

Am I correct to assume these are all the E55 parts? Also, how much oil does the SC need?

Toadster

yup those are E55 parts

basically fill back what you removed from the S/C as long as it comes up to the bottom edge of the fill hole

dbworld4k

How often are you guys changing the supercharge oil? I was told it is "lifetime" fluid. My car is bone stock, so it doesn't see any excess wear on the S/C motor but I am at 130K miles..
