My car will be lowered but i always run stretched tires on my cars. I will probably don't need to do fender work or adjust camber if i shave some of the back of the wheel to adjust the ET value.

Hmmm how much did you shave off and what are there are negatives or side effects from shaving? does it compromise the safety of the wheel?

How did you get your exhaust outlet to stick out more? I just got mine installed with the same diffuser and the outlets are too deep in.

Quick question how heavy is the air ride suspension and how does it ride compared to traditional coilover setups

If I remember correctly mine are sticking in slightly. It's a lot better then before when I didn't have brackets holding the diffuser on the bottom. The brackets pulls the diffuser slightly inwards so it exposes more of the exhaust. But the only true way to correct this if extending the exhaust length

Weight is similar to coil overs (bags/struts vs. coils/struts). The tank and compressor are about ~40lbs depending on how many tanks/compressors.
The ride is comparable to any coil over systems. Airrex offers dampening adjustment on the struts so you can fine tune it to your liking. It is not bouncy like everyone thinks

Would something like adding some pipes back by the xpipe/resonator help push it out more? I have the brackets from the OEM diffuser holding down the CF diffuser. Here are some pics:

That depends on how much is still left on the back of the wheel. I have done this before with the brabus wheels i had. If you have a good quality aluminium wheel you will be safe.

Heres the CF interior, I didn't CF the all the trim, I think it looks better like this

We are using these wheels only for street/rolling. The show wheels will be crazy.
The front doesn't sit as flush as I would like, but that is due to the camber and can be adjusted

These are stock S63 wheels with +43 offset

Agree regarding the S63 wheels, they look very good and really suit the C Class Coupe

Wheels look very sexy! What height will you be riding on? any rubbing?

Where did you get the carbon fibre interior from or did you just wrap it?

The vehicle is set at about 1 inch wheel gap. With the 1 inch gap, I can drive normally without rubbing

StanceLab was able to source a manufacture in Asia to wrap the trim. True carbon fiber was used, not vinyl wrap

The extensions on the X-pipe will help with this situation, this is my plan as well

How are you going to take turns fast with weels like this? Exit ramps at 80 or kickouts at 60?
