Nice pictures. Does anyone know what kind of suspension the C55 (w/ carbon fiber front lip) is running? The drop looks perfect.

The guy who drives this is an asian guy right? I see him all the time in my neck of the woods (Glenview/Morton Grove/Skokie/Niles). Does anyone know who he is?

Car looks great...

Thanks Eugene!

Yup, that's my car. I'm running Bilstein PSS9 coilovers with the front at the lowest setting. I use to have the Carlsson RS Suspension kit which is now on my brother's car...the CLK 500 to the left of my car but I wasn't happy with the lowest setting up front...was still too high for my taiste. You can see the difference in the pics.
