SLK32 AMG would zoom right by a regular C230K regardless of custom exhaust or not.

Your rear is right at the top of the fender.
I wonder if it'll stay that way?

My rear TEIN coilovers gradually sunk, ,had them raised so it's not tucked and now the thing is stiff as a board. Think I liked it better before.

Yeah i have the same spring and when they settle it looks pretty good. the front didnt as much, no gap, but the ride is stiff. Get a couple of fat people in the back for a few minutes, you will see how low it will go. lol
