Mike - glad you're enjoying those LEDs, I think they're a grea improvement over the standard clear markers.
Elijah - thanks, man!

H&R's for now...and depending on how long I keep the car, possibly coils in the future
I'd also like to do a full CF interior trim w/ CF and Alcantara steering wheel + CF shift knob!

are the LED side markers functional?
Also since a lot of the things on the outside of the car are wrapped in CF, I think you should do the interior as well rather than put real CF. I wrapped the interior of my c300 two years back with 3m CF material and it looked great but did not match with the exterior real CF. Something to think about before you spend all that money on the CF trim.

I was thinking about wrapping the inside but given all the troubles I'm having with the ECU right now...I'm not even thinking about spending more money on the car.

As of now, I'm waiting to speak with Jerry@Eurocharged. We exchanged PMs this morning and he asked me to send him my ECU so that he could try and see what the problem was...I'm hoping it will be an easy, quick fix that he can perform. Otherwise, I'll have to purchase a brand new ECU since MB won't warranty it.

Guys double check your rear offsets. According to Forgestar directly the highest rear offset available for the F14 is +48. The only wheels that come in the +50 are the Cf5 and 10.
I confirmed this as I was pricing out wheels recently.

The blanks have tolerances to go a bit higher. We do all CF10s at +52 and F14s at +50.

Go on http://tinypic.com/, upload the pics, and then get the URL of the uploaded pic and put it between [img]your url[/img]
Make sure to re-size them before you upload them or it's going to look massive.
To re-size a picture, open it with 'Preview' on your Mac, then tools, then Adjust Size.
Hope this helps!
Edit: I personally use http://e-loader.net to upload my pictures, it's a french website, fast and without ads. It will also resize your pictures automatically if you select the option. It will save you a lot of time.

I don't know any French but guessed my way through this and it worked - thanks!
The drop looks nice and the car still feels reasonably comfortable - no major change in ride quality but it definitely feels better in the turns.
I'm going to get a re-alignment and have the camber adjusted next week once the springs have settled.
I'm also happy to report I've got no rubbing on my Forgestar set up! I am considering adding my 10mm spacers back on the front though but will see how she sits after the alignment.
