dropped the car using OEM Mercedes Links from Europe. My shop knew I wanted an aggressive drop and the module was not going to be enough. They specialize in using OEM Mercedes links to drop the car because they are not a fan of the homemade washers or links method... You can hit them up at www.statusauto.com

that is just insanely low!

how is it possible for you to drive it daily?

how do you cope with the car lowering itself above 55mph (or somewhere around that speed)?

I'm going to disagree with most people and say that these mods don't match the car at all. AMG's are high performance sports cars, not "low riders". These mods look like they belong on 50 cent's cadillac escalade....
