Talking Dropped It Like It's Hot!

Finally got the coilovers on today. Looks a lot better to me. Might go even lower in a week or so. What do you guys think??? Hopefully get my euro impact strips on tomorrow along with the clear mirror blinkers...

Thanks guys. The suspension is the Tein Basic coilovers. Took a little while to install. Had to make a few tools. The camber is great. No rubbing at all so far. Need to take it out tomorrow and run it hard. The lips on the rims are huge! I love them... I have the BiXenons (oem)already just haven't installed them cause my closest dealer (70mi away) refuses to change the setting for me. The next closest is 2 1/2 hours away.
I have a flat hood badge but I don't like it. It is too large too. I need to get the smaller AMG one.

BTW... Frank, your car was my inspiration for all the mods. I had it as my backround on the comp to get me going...

It would look sick with a CF lip once you get the bix in.

Looks hot man, I've never seen your car before so I have nothing to compare it to. Great work, I don't think I would lower it any more, but if you do, take pics to compare it to.
