Thanks much. Jay just hand delivered the first set of camber arms EVER for a W211 or a W219. Working with these fabricators to come up with new solutions is what it is about. again, first EVER. Nobody has ever had them or anything like them.

I don't deny modding the crap out of my car. I also don't get your fund comment, since I actually pay way more to mod and E55 than I ever would a P car setup for track use. As you said, I am making it a street car. I love the performance along with the comfort and not having to be as involved as I would in a real race car.
Is the impliction here that you should only mod track dedicated cars? I'm confused on what you two are trying to say.
You obviously don't know me if you think I got the E55 for the Merc status. Some of us are over that part. This is my 9th Merc in almost as many years. I am loyal to the brand and have been since I was a kid.
Again, lets keep in mind that we are in a thread about performance parts for the C63. I hope those arguing that Mercs suck aren't C63 drivers but just enthusiasts like myself.

"I would love to take a few years and race a 997 GT2 all over the world. But, that isn't my reality. What I can do is buy a car that I thoroughly enjoy driving and get my itch scratched."
I gathered from this that you would be doing this but aren’t due to possibly funds or maybe responsibilities/commitments you may have; I don’t know you personality but that’s what I gathered from that quote and hey If I could I would be doing the same thing.
Again I agree I don’t know you but you do have to agree with me that some if not many do get merks for the status, now weather they admit that or not is another story and no I'm not pointing a finger at you, just stating a fact. As for the modding I’m glad we both agree that you mod the crap out of your car but the real point I think both of us were saying is that the car you own, the E55 AMG was originally ment/build as a luxury car, can/could it be modded to other platforms, of course it can but the amount of money you admitted that your spending on this "luxury car" could of been better spent on a more race/designed type of car and would of probably gave you more "bang" for your buck and would still get that "itch" scratched. Again as I always say “to each his own”, I was merely just stating an observation and my two cents on the matter. LOL your right it seems were getting a tad bit off topic so I hope we can both agree to disagree.

We haven't had any problems with our strut brace from any of our customers yet. This is the first we've heard of any problems, but we're willing to work with you to find out if this is indeed caused by the brace. Have you tried uninstalling the brace and inspecting the brace and mounts? If there appears to be no sign of problems, I would recommend reinstalling the brace and making sure everything is installed properly.
As far as a glk having any problems, we haven't sold any to any Glk owners yet. If you have heard of this problem on a Glk, it must be of a different brand.
I just want to let everone know that we stand 100% behind our product so please don't hesitate to contact us with any concerns, problems, or questions.
Thanks and Best regards,
Yuta @ SMERC Engineering
