Dropped on Bilstein PSS9's

I picked up a set of coilovers from a forum member and got the installed at M-Power this week.

For your viewing enjoyment.


















Anyone with Photoshop skills, feel free to make me a pretty new sig picture.

Looks awesome, how would you compare the ride compared to stock? I would imagine that it's night and day. I noticed that you removed your lip, have you encountered any problems being lower now?

Its doesn't ride much different than stock when cruising but really changes the game in high speed cornering. My lip actually came off a while ago at high speed, too much down force for the bolts I suppose. Should have used washers on the bolts.

At first, I thought your car looked lob sided but I noticed it was just the angle of some of the pics...

Car and drop looks great!

Thanks guys, I'm really impressed with how well it rides and handles now. This should be a factory feature on any AMG if you ask me.

Chris, what setting are you using? I run 7 in the front and 9 in the rear.

LOOKS GOOD!!! I was going to swap my suspension to C55 ones but maybe I'll wait and get these. @ chris, the ride isn't too stiff?

I installed mine in 2005 so, it has been some time and maybe I forgot. But from what I remember, 9 is the softest, 1 is the hardest. I also run Eibach in the front and CLK BS in the rear (dual exhaust set up).

I'm not sure what the front is set at, they were left at whatever setting the previous owner had. The rear are set at 4 and it feels perfect. As for ride quality it's not stiff while cruising.
