I LOVE that look! Keep it the way it is! Makes me wish I picked a black C55 instead of B. Silver - b/c I'd copy you!

What are the spring rates and shock valving on the KWV2's? What rebound setting have you found to be the best on the street/canyon/track?

Where did you get that grill. I want one. How much did they charge to paint it. My car is going into the body shop I could have them do it. It looks very clean. I like the front bumper so much better on the c55.

The KW springs are progressive. My installer left it in the absolute stiffest setting, so from there i can take it out a little bit to my liking. But i never even touched rebound since that. There is only height and rebound adjustment on the V2s. I wish they had V3s out for this car. I love the stiff ride. Driving, i am not aware of any body roll at all. We dont have any canyons here in florida, but its a blast taking to to some back roads near a local airport that has nothing but curves! the suspension feels nice and firm, and body roll is not really felt. All i do hear is rubbing. I will be going to the track eventually, i will again leave it on the stiffest setting, i doubt if i made it any softer it will help any better. For the street, it may be to stiff for some, but i like it.

The grill wont fit the C32. But there are similar ones out there that will. They charged 125 to paint it. I think its alot being a different body shop chared me 50 bucks for my old grill on my last car painted.

Yeah it looks just like Mizner Park in Boca, I haven't been there in 15 years. I miss the weather and not having to wash salt off the Benz. :-(
