WOW!!! A dream!!! One of the best if not THE best looking ones out there!

IMHO maybe a touch lower in the front.

Congrats!

You got some competition on the silver side...
As for the coils - I used H & R adjustable coils... the car looks sick! It took a couple of adjustments but it is perfect! (same size wheels - renntech, gunmetal black)
You can see some pictures on the going to Kleemanize my C55 - Page 2.

You're right... it doesn't look lowered at all.

Bennyz gets my vote for the best looking silver one (for now)... my c55 is silver too. Hehe.

AMFfifty5, your car looks amazing! I also have a black C55 and have been looking around for some nice black wheels. Could you tell me the brand/model of those wheels and also the brand/size of the tires?

Additional question for all you C55 owners out there, is there a noticeable difference in ride comfort when switching from 18 to 19 inch wheels (assuming slightly lower profile tires)?

lmao!



btw AMGfifty5, i wasn't aware that Renntech had springs for the C55 yet. Did you just order springs for the C55? or did you order the C32 ones or maybe the CLK55 ones? Also, i would say put the renntech springs on the rear! If you dont want it to be much lower put #4 spring pads.

I am also curious about that...when I got the H&R coils Renntech did not have coils for the C55...
Not that it matters, I still would have gotten the H&R, I've used them on my Prosche (996) and my M3 (my previous two cars)
Why pay extra for a Renntech name, H&R makes them anyways...

Yeah, i dont think renntech had anything for the C55 out.

The renntech springs are actually not made by H&R. There good springs, but so are the H&R.

Do you have springs or coilovers?

I have the adjustable coils/springs...
and these days Brembo and H&R make almost eveything for anyone with their name on it. Especially brembo (which is why I got the Brembo kit directly from Brembo)

I dont really care about the handling...i just didnt want the car to look lower in th rear... renntech doesnt make c55 springs? i guess i gotta go back to that shop then huh....

how much do coilovers run for a c55? i guess i need those to make her sit the way i want it on 19s...

Thanks for all the help...

oh and who ever wanted to know what brand the rims were, they are Iforged Sprint... took them like 10 weeks to recieve the rims since I colored matched the face to my color code so I hope u have alot of patience....

If they are indeed c32 springs, that is the reason it doesn't look lower. The c55 is almost an inch lower than the c32 in stock form.

Brembo just came out with the rear, they asked me if i want to put them on and they would use my car for the cover of their new catalog, i declined!
too much money ($1,900 at cost) and not very useful other than it would look great!
