Finding them at the dealer is impossible here and when they had them VERY expensive. Better buying on the aftermarket. I'll check to see how much mine cost

Just make sure you say 330mm front and 300mm rear.... They include the option of cross-drilled or slotted or both.... Pretty sweet deal.

I might pick up some of the slotted ones, I like the look of cross drilled but too many horror stories of cracks have me 2nd guessing them. Thanks for the tip and yes it IS a sweet deal...

I know we talked about it in another thread but I figure we should post it here:

LED's for your gauge cluster:
http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...specs%2FB8.htm

You need to use the B8.4D LED to replace the stock cluster bulbs

I did a complete interior/exterior LED conversion on my car (except for the turn signals for obvious reasons). I bought all mine from superbrightleds.com. They have bulb charts and whatnot to help you figure out what you need.

Please tell me where. Quotes from all the places I've seen so far cost ~$1k for a whole set.

The MB arts arms are definitely worth it! The shop that installed my suspension complemented me on the MB arts arms specifically and this is coming from a shop that was working on a Gallardo in the bay right next to my car so they know quality when they see it MB Arts and K-MAC all the way baby!!!

Hey bud.
when you got your new L-C-arms did you pull out your new bushings from your arms and had the Kmac's fitted to your new rustfrei LCA's?
Feels like killing a new part to improve it for better performance!

Yeah, I'm waiting for my new camber arms to arrive.
I hope I can exterminate the lousy factory camber alignment with these arms.
I think I will stay with my stock euro AMG spring set up, putting lower springs on my car might stress other things on my car?
A new factory shox kit might be a good vitamine injection for handling.

You still happy with your car when it comes to handling?
Shop did they install the camber arms so you could see the MB Arts logo near the dust shields rotor?
I got my self black anodized for safe coating against future oxidation?
Winter season in my country is a bit--!

Yes they pulled the brand new bushings out of my brand new LCA and installed the K-MAC kit, I would definitely recommend new shocks if you haven't installed some in the last 100k. My car handles better than any car I have ever driven. I can literally take 20 mph corners @ 55mph without the back end coming out. Yes you can see the MB Arts logo, at least you could when I first got the car back but you had to get down LOW to see it

my car is only 96.000km = 60.000 miles.
problem is I don't drive it in winter and it sits in the garage for about 5-6 months, maybe this isn't very healthy, but at least my car haven't got the dreadful rust yet?

I was thinking to buy Billies sport version as named in US, euro version is called B8 SPRINT but Popeye24 doesn't recommend these shox for our cars?
So this means I'm stuck with stealership shox when I'm going to replace them.

To get down low to see the MB ARTS logo, I guess it's impossible to see it now when you have lowered your car.
