Thanks Vadim. Spacers are also next "to do." I can only fit a 5mm unless I roll it up. Not sure if I want to do it but I do want the rear wheels to be flush. By the way, know where I can get a good price on spacers and longer bolts?

Jim,

Brabus setup my car the way any other C Class would be setup including their monster V8, at least that is what the tech told me, not the sales person. I am not an expert, but I would expect Brabus does not sell and install products that would not compliment the MBs. As for braking, feels the same, handling is much, much, much better than my original setup IMO.

Pure Motorsport sells them. I suggest you call and ask about the lugs, as they don't list them online, yet they may have them in stock.

I bought the grill from Evosport. I think they had one left. About $600. There is a part you need to have painted to match your cars body color. I took it to a local body shop that does paint matching and paid $30.

Oogle, PM your # and I can call you to explain if you like.

So far no problems. I got them from a shop in Gardena, CA called Eurorev:

Ask for Vincent and tell him Raul sent you. He will hook you up.
