Were did you get those brakes from!??

91RS

Those are CLK63 brakes.

MBfinatic

Were do you get those from and for how much....

91RS

Anywhere that sells Mercedes parts. The whole setup front and rear will run $4k or so for all new parts.

hey guys, definitely not on the forum too much but i figured i'd post up a pic of my baby. i just moved to Arizona, so if anyone around here ever goes for drives or wants to set up a meet please let me know!

FrankW

welcome to the forum, i'm sure there are plenty from AZ.

phister

you should invest in some lowering springs

benz.brooke

thanks, and yeah coil overs are en route actually. along with a roof spoiler.

phister

if you dont plan on adjusting your ride height I'd say go with springs and good struts or order or find a set of 2005+ SS springs and struts. You can find them pretty cheap in the classifieds for less than 200. The SS suspension is lower than the C32 suspension.

phister

the SS suspension will give you a really good drop but still give you OEM comfort but little stiffer spring so it'll handle better.

i am gonna be adjusting it once i finish tech school though. can only go so low with speed bumps in my neighborhood and such. thanks tho, much appreciated.

benz.brooke

and, comfort isn't a big concern with the 225/30/20s i'm running in the front. XD

phister

you just gotta memorize the roads and all the potholes hahaha thats what I do. Sometimes I gotta take the long way because my cars so low and I know i'm going to rip my lip off lol You might as well drop it low now so you can get used to the driving with the car being lowered.

phister

like the wheels in the sig more than the ones above. You're like the 3rd or 4th girl thats joined here in the past couple of months. Glad to see more females wanting to tune their MBs

FrankW

i drive over them like a madman! .... my car with the cape!

phister

lol... Dukes of Hazzard's style!

benz.brooke

haha, if i was still at home in washington it wouldn't be a big deal cause i knew all the roads. it's a diff story down here though. and thanks, those are the wheels that were on it when i bought it, they were beat though. bent and rusted, lol. i picked up the 20's for cheap so i had something to drive on. they're starting to grow on me though, so idk what will happen. and thanks, i'm actually on my way to becoming a BMW tech. and this is my husbands car..

so i kinda know my way around a car. i think. lol.

ha, Frank. i kinda want a car i wouldn't mind thrashing. it'd be fun to be able to just ruin something and not feel bad.

FrankW

the Z looks mean!!

the 20's might cause trouble when you put the coilovers on.

benz.brooke

thanks! it's been our project car for a few years now. engine just got stroked out to a 4.07L, getting a twin pump assembly as well at the moment. then swapping the GT28 turbos for some 35s.

and they shouldn't, arrowhead dealer and the other Mercedes shop down here said i could drop the front an inch without any worries. not looking to go much lower than that right now anyways.

phister

yea the 20s might rub against the strut/spring when you lower it. Heres my friends crews Z/Gs

CAVEMAN STANCE!!! This is how we do it in TX

MBfinatic

Does it mean in ur info that ur car is supercharged


These arent C class mercedes!?!?

anthonyy

That is a beautiful 350. I had one a couple years ago until some idiot rear ended me totaling it. I'm looking into the 370.. any suggestions from the husband?

benz.brooke

very nice! we've got lots of S2Ks that roll with our group back in Washington too. we just get out a lot less, thanks to wonderful pnw weather.


MBfinatic, pm replied.


anthony, i'm so sorry to hear that! what year? and he's pretty indifferent, as far as i know. suggestions on..? mods?

FrankW

benz.brooke
