Returning Member, ‘16 CLS63 Need Help



Okay first of all I’m BACK and papa’s got a new toy. I just picked up a low mileage ‘16 CLS63 Designo Diamond White with Designo Classic Red interior. I am having all of the chrome blacked out by a local shop, new black emblems, probably refinishing the factory multi-spokes because I love them but they’re too bright.

I need to lower it, but springs in front and air in back means I need advice. I can see there is a good set of H&R front springs available, then do I need links for the rear or can I have a competent tech STAR lower it? Ive searched the forum but the threads are ANCIENT.

Does anyone make an Affalterbach hood emblem to fit this *****?

Is there anything I need to know about this thing? Issues to look for?

Best way to make it LOUDER?

Welcome back! The only thing I can chime in on would be doing downpipes to increase the sound. I went with a catted downpipe from Speedriven because I didn't want to deal with the catless smell and check engine light.

Thanks my dude! I’m going to start with a resonator delete for the exhaust. I need to find lowering links, and I’ve got a shop ready to Storm Trooper the car.
