freshly bagged 07 c280 4-matic






Just finished this over the weekend figured I'd post some pictures. Have some 18x8.5/9.5 amg monoblocks that I'm refinishing and gonna put on next summer.
I'm running the universal high dampening strut kit in the front firestone tappered bags in the rear with autopilot v2 and viair 440c compressor

I will try and post better pictures soon

Thanks, yeah that's kinda why I went with the awd, definitely harder to find parts for it compared to the sports

It rides a little bit stiffer than stock but not bad, I need to find some shorter shocks for the back the stock ones bottom out when it's aired out all the way

Wow, very nice.

And here I thought I did good by getting adjustable coilovers. I have to admit yours is much better.

WOW fcking nice man! Could you please PM some info on your front struts? bagged my 203 wagon a few months back using airhouse 2 bags over my stock mcpherson struts but it simply isn't low enough and I've been unsure as to what other options there were up front.
Thanks!

As far as Autopilot V2 goes, you'll love it, I've driven about 10k miles on my set up with zero issues

I have to pull the fronts out this weekend and paint them so when I do that I'll post up some pictures. I love your wagon too looks good on those wheels. I'm very happy with the v2 so far, I commute 100 miles a day and have had 0 issues so far I like not having to always worry about maintaning the ride height makes everything a lot easier. Were did you mount your controller, I think I'm going to put mine in my ashtray so I can hide it completely if I wanted too.

Awesome thanks! sounds good man, but yeah I pulled the ash tray out which still leaves just a plastic cubby hole, cut a hole in the back and ran the wire through, ill post a pic up today as well, I can both close the ash tray and conceal the controller or I've found I can run the wire on the side of the ash tray door and keep it closed with the controller in the cabin
