Thanks again for the kind words. I am FINALLY able to respond. GRrrrr...site is soooo slow right now.
I've thought about tint but after driving friends' cars that are tinted I've decided that I can't see a thing at night.
The ride is a little on the firm side due to where I set the stiffness on the shocks (2.5 turns stiff). It rides comfortably on the soft setting but the car feels unpredictable (floaty) and doesn't handle well. The low profile tires doesn't help ride quality either but it's nothing I'm not used to.
Thanks man. I'm on the opposite side of town but I'm sure we'll eventually cross paths.
Thanks Phil. Where is Neal anyway? Haven't seen him on lately.

BBS wheels are hot on your car too with that ride height. I wonder if its comfortable with that type of stance.

Wow Ling! That looks incredible! The lip really completes the look, go back and compare it with you last pics without the lip, definitely looks much more aggressive now.
I must say, you take great pictures, and since you take them at night it is even more of a challenge! Props to you my friend!
Your car reminds me of my C55, we had the exact same mods, KW Coilovers, CF lip and only our wheels were different. To me those are the only mods needed as far as exterior goes on the C55, anything more is overdone. Great job!

Thanks Jim. The fuel content mod displays how much fuel is left in the tank down to the tenths in gallons. Netherlands mod enables the chirp/beep when you lock/unlock the car using the remote without losing the panic feature. The car rides a bit firm due to the settings on which I have the shocks set to (2.5 turns firm). It rides better than stock when on the softest setting but doesn't handle as well.
LOL....oh man not this situation again. I would consider selling the car BUT I've had it for less than a year and, under the current circumstances, would not be a wise financial decision for me to do so. I'll let you know if I change my mind though.

Im doing some research on suspension mods. I want to cut out some of the body roll.
It will probably require some new shocks at minimum and probably new springs. Don't know for sure yet.
I bought this car with 7K miles, the original owner swiped the AMG wheels and put some 17 inch cheepies on it. They will soon be gone.
Thanks again for the reply
