Ben, I'll be up on Monday 1PMish to pick up C32 AMG brakes. Let me know details about properly bedding the brakes. Got my rear AMG sway bar, but still waiting for forward AMG sway bar... Thinking of those H&R Coils too vice AMG suspension mod ! Maybe I should wait and install alltogether. ????

I want to lower my front end 1-1.5 inches, and my rear by .5-1 inch. I think the AMG suspension will give me that ( somebody please chime in to correct me ), but at the same time I keep hearing on these boards that H&R Coils are SO much better and blah blah blah technical stuff that I still don't understand. Like I said, I'm not going to be running Laguna Seca any time soon, but do want the "semi-lowered look" and some sort of roll/sway control. So that's why I had opted for the AMG sways & AMG suspension from the get go. If H&R Coils are better (and hence pricier), I want to know what the big difference is. If it's too subtle, then I'll just go for the AMG stuff.
Those who know about AMG Sways / AMG Suspension vs H&R Coils please chime in !! What should I get ??? Start a new thread, so not to hijack on Citron's AMG Brakes.
I'll get pictures of mine posted once they're installed too ! They should look sweet with my chrome AMG Style IV wheels... can't wait !

Yes, I believe they are PHILIPS silver bulbs that blink amber.
I have the part # and website at home. Ordering tonight.
I tried similar ones out at EVOSPORT yesterday, and they look great.
Installed them temporarily to see how they looked.
Just the ones they had in stock at the moment weren't bright enough,
so Ben recommended these brighter ones.
I think I'll take a "before & after" picture to post later.

silver vision are great. they are as bright as std indicators and have no orange hue to them. yet they still blink amber, which i like because i hate blue/white indicators.
