Wow, she photographs really nicely.
You must have given Santa a handy or something. All I got was some socks, Star Wars swag, and a pair of Danners.

I don't think it was available in 2017. At least I don't remember it being an option presented to me when I ordered. Here's a few more...

sick color, great choice. Are the side blades blacked out on the '18 night package?
also, what's the interior look like?

Are you going to try the new H&R VTF Height Adjustable...or do another H&R Sport Spring setup?

It was available on the 2017 models up here in Canada - mine is spec'ed with it too. I'm really digging the matte /satin black rims here.

Two pieces of advice - don't ever trust anyone to wash your car but yourself. Always tell anyone servicing the car that you don't want it washed, even if they don't offer. Buy Dr. Beasleys Matte Care kit immediately. The Mercedes offering of matte care is laughable and absolute trash.

The gloss black side blades and spoiler are part of the studio package. The night package only include the f & r valence and the pipes.
I still have to take some interior pics. I have the carbon fiber package and the mb-tex/dinamica performance seats.

I'm not sure. First I heard of the VTF...lol. I have to look into them. I was pretty happy with the drop the springs gave me before.

If you feel adventurous, give the VTF a try. I’m sure everyone on the board will appreciate the feedback, especially from someone who has had the Sport Springs and can give some comparative feedback.

Me, I’m curious of the actual drop and how much adjustability they provide. I’m not certain (doubtful, actually) about the specs on the website and want to know how much higher you can get the springs. Unfortunately, H&R didn’t doesn’t provide an email addy that you can send these types of Qs to...and I don’t ever have time to call them and talk it through.

I did not like the negative rake I got with the h&r springs on my sedan so I just received my set of vtf adjustable ones, should have them on by end of next week. I found the drop slightly too little in the front and too much in the rear so I'm hoping these work to my liking.

I get that.

But the springs for the sedan and coupe are different and have diff drop specs...so hopefully they work out for the sedan (the way you want them too). I’m really curious about how they work for the coupe.

Would also like to know of the springs are interchangeable between coupe and sedan. The suspensions are the same, so in theory they should work...with just the drop being different!?

Those black wheels with the thin silver lip look super sharp against the matte grey paint.
