got car lowered finally -

and wheels - looks like I will join the 90% of black on silver combo for the forum. yes I am a sheep. went with eibach springs and Toyo Tires - no rubbing - what so ever.

I next plan on jumping off a bridge but am waiting for everyone else to do that first.

cheers

looks good!

you are moving fast on your mods? didn't just buy the car a few months back?


Get some bi-xenons... a seen a pair for around $600 or so... it will complete your exterior appearance.


those are 19's right?

How does your car handle now?

After having springs for about a month now.... I still like the ride quality and improved handling, it is not as good as I would like, but definately an improvement.

I think I need better sway bars now.

to me it feels just like stock except around corners, it's a little tighter. Ride quality seems to be the same and yes they are 19 x 8.5 front 19 x 9.5 rear. rides great - now for those Bi Xenons would be great but I'm debating about getting a M3 and leaving this car as is. Until the front lip is produced. Yeah I have only had it a little while and really like the car. for the money you can't find a quicker or better looking luxury sedan. you should sell your car so I can buy your pullies... just kidding.... but really you should...

thanks for the compliment

also I got the wheels thru a group buy with Frank - Gtuning werks - amazing price - and service was great - would do business with him again. his girlfriend is pretty hot too!!! jk

Carry On

i believe they are a knock offs of the bremma, i don't know the difference - the front did not require a spacer. but considering there was only a 1mm gap between the brake and the wheel I added one any way. 3mm.

thanks Again on the compliment.

Looks like to me he was looking straight at the camera.

I'd hit it...

yes you are. jk. it was to good a deal to pass up. also with a silver car not to many options ya know looks good as well. black is very common on this forum. However in the Palm Springs area I only know of 1 C32 - mine - and 1 C55, DesertC55 (Member) and there are not any modded Benz out here to compare. yes plenty of zombies driving SL65 and CL65 even seen the new "S" and an Enzo on Saturday but these people driving them look like E.T.. If i had a bottomless bank account yes I would have gone with the 15" 100 spoke Triple Gold Daytons but I was not in the position to "go big".
