not all the way down on the lowest, about 1.5 full turns from the bottom, the suspension has settled and I think it's ride height is perfect for me, thanks again to Rob @ Vivid for getting this kit out to me so quicky

I have 21's on currently and doesn't rub anymore but had to pull back the fender liner slightly.
So you're running 21x10.5? Would love to see some pictures.

Thanks

Raised it up a couple weeks ago. Now it is all the way down with 21" rims. Can you say "wheel tuck"

Hey rob, I'm having rubbing issues on the front wheels on 21's with the kw coil overs. What modifications did you make to get rid of the rubbing? The frame is right behind the plastic fender liner so I don't understand how to push the fender liner back. I only rub when I'm parking or at slow speeds. I am clearing fender with no problem though.

It seems that I'm the only person with any kind of rubbing problems on 21's. FML!

I had issues too when I ran 21 inches for an HRE photo shoot on my CLS- the car was too low. The problem with the 21 inch set up is the rotational diameter is increased by 1 inch or 1/2 inch up top and that caused the wheel to hit the outer fender on turns. Fortunately I only had them on for a few hours and had a short drive to make for the shoot.

For me the only way to avoid the rubbing on the front plastic part of the fender would have been to raise the car a little.

Nice stuff Rob---- maybe I have a bad screen but the black lips tend to blend with tires creating a "big tire" look.

Do you have any close up shots to eliminate that perception?

Yeah just cellphone pictures high resolution you can see the difference.

I have another set on the way though. Wanted to try a monoblok set and see the difference.

I love this car.

Vic,

Do you feel a major difference with the sleeves compared to your hr spring set on the e63. I am more looking at ride height and your sedan had the perfect drop. I am thinking a spring set up will be enough plus much cheaper.


Do you think your car sat lower cause you had the 350 springs
