enjoy!

 

 

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


lmao, right down to that painted side marker! holy ****, lol, i am glad you live far away from me! LOL!

If i said i didnt like it, i would be insulting my own car! :p

Very nice!

 

How hard was it to do the coil-over install?

 

SWEET! looks like a killer

 

Except for the grill

 

hey Neal... silver ownz you.... j/k man!!!!

 

Kneel has a twin? :p

 

nice!

 

beautiful...

 

let us know how they ride. Price info would be nice too. Im really itching to lower my ride.

 

Hey DbleNckel, I just noticed that you're in OC, did you have all this done at Evosport? Also, where did you get your radar hardwired at?

Thanks!

 

I have the stock grill back on the car. I took the CLK grill off months ago. Infact i never even drove with it once it was painted black. Only installed if for the pic as u see in the sig.

 

 

that's hott... I like the stock grill on the c55 waaay better than the clk grill. lets see some pics now!

 

Hey DbleNckel. Which "V8" fender badge is that? Is it the V8 Kompressor badge from a E55 with the "Kompressor" left out. Did you put it on or did the dealer? I'm think about ordering those badges from my dealer and I'm just wondering how you went about it.

 

If you dont mind, how big of a drop did that setup do for you??? And how is the ride so far??

 

hey man thats a pretty nice ride, looks clean

 

Why does Biltsein use the inverted shock in the rear?

I thought that was just a road rally trick to avoid damage to the shock/strut body? That's the main difference between the PSS-9 and KW V2. KW is no inverted and has an external resevior in the rear.

 

DbleNckel, is it possible to get that side profile picture of your car bigger?

 

YEP!! I WAS IN LIMBO W/ THE 448S OR THE COMPETITION C21(SIMILAR DESIGN: MULTI-SPOKE), BUT THE C21 HAD SOME DEVELOPMENT PROBS/DELAYED AVAILABILITY, SO 1. DIDN'T WANT TO WAIT, 2.DIDN'T WANT TO CHANCE PRODUCT QUALITY (E.G. 1ST YEAR MODEL VEHICLES)

PRIOR TO THE INSTALL, I'VE BEEN QUOTED, "5-6 HRS", "LEAVE IT ALL DAY W/ US"..BLAH BLAH BLAH, BUT THE SHOP I WENT W/ HAD A TECH WHO USE TO WORK FOR DAZZ MOTORSPRTS(LATRELL SPREWELL) AND D2 TECHNIK AND IT TOOK HIM ONY 2.5 HRS!!! THIS GUY HAS 15 YRS EXPERIENCE, AND HE'S INSTALLED BILSTEINS NUMEROUS TIMES, SO THIS WAS LIKE 2ND NATURE TO HIM

BENZO, WE KNOW WHAT COLOR LOOKS BEST!! GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE :p

SO FAR...OMG!!! I ALWAYS THOUGHT THEY WERE OVERRATED, AND WHAT ALL THE HYPE WAS ABOUT? NOW I KNOW WHY...CUZ THEY ARE THE ISH!!! I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHEN THEY FULLY BREAK-IN WHEN I CAN SET IT A LIL STIFFER...IT'S LIKE A 4DR M3, BUT THE RIDE IMO IS MORE COMFORTABLE DEPENDING ON THE SETTING, THEY RUN AT OR ABOUT $2K, DEPENDING WHO YOU GET THEM FROM, I FIGURE SPEND THE EXTRA $400-500, COMPARED TO SOMETHING CHEAPER, I'M NOT GONNA CHANGE SUSPENSION LIKE I DO TIRES, SO GO W/ THE BEST AND DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME...

NOPE, I JUST GOT THE PAINTED REFLECTORS FROM EVO SPORT, SUSPENSION AND WHEELS: AT A LOCAL SHOP (PM ME FOR INFO), THE HARD-WIRE I DID IT MYSELF....LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT ME TO HELP YOU DO YOURS, IF IT'S AN ESCORT.

DITTO! IT'S MORE INCOGNEITO, I LOVE IT WHEN I SEE PEOPLE WALK AROUND MY CAR TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS :p

IT CAME W/ THE CAR...YOURS DIDN'T?? :p J/K, I HAD A PREDISPOSTION ON HOW I WAS GONNA SET-UP MY CAR BEFORE I GOT IT, AND ONE WAS TO PUT A V8 BADGE ON THE FENDERS...IT LOOKED TOO PLAIN W/O ANYTHING, CUZ ON AMG BENZ' THESE DAYS I'M ACCUSTOMED TO SEEIN A SIDE BADGING OF SOME SORT, SO I FIGURE TO PUT THE V8, SINCE I DO HAVE ONE, I PRICED IT W/ THE PARTS DEPT. BEFOREHAND AND THEY RUN $100 FOR BOTH SIDES, AND YES YOU HAVE TO ORDER THE FULL V8 KOMPRESSOR ONE FROM THE E55, AND JUST USE THE V8 PART, THAT'S UNTIL YOU PUT THE KLEEMAN BLOWER ON IT THAN YOU CAN PUT ON THE REST , I CLOSED MY DEAL BY TELLIN THE SALESMAN TO THROW IN THE BADGING AND I PUT IT ON MYSELF, TOOK ME FOREVER TO MAKE SURE IT WAS ALIGNED RIGHT!! CUZ I'M **** LIKE THAT :p

THE DEFAULT HEIGHT SETTING THAT BILSTIEN SET WAS PERFECT FOR *ME* UP FRONT, NO GAP, AND THE REAR SLIGHT TIRE TUCK, BUT I HAD THE TECH RAISE IT UP .5", TO NOT TUCK, CUZ ONCE IT SETTLES, IT WILL TUCK SLIGHTLY.., RIDE IS GREAT, OBVIOUSLY NOT AS SMOOTH AS STOCK, BUT STIFFER IN A GOOD WAY

DUNNO WHAT YOU SAID IS GREEK TO ME

IN DUE TIME ONCE MY CAR IS CLEANED AND DETAILED I'LL TAKE MORE DIFFERENT ANGLED/BIGGER SHOTS....I ONLY TOOK ONE CUZ IT WAS RIGHT AFTER INSTALL AND DIRTY, I DIDN'T WANT TO WASH IT CUZ IT WAS RAINING THIS WEEKEND IN SO. CAL

 

sweet ride man, since you live in OC too, just wondering if you are selling your factory AMG wheels? if so can i get a quote on price? if not, its cool NICE setup!
