great pics Rage!!!
FYI i was able to lower my car in the rear ever so slightly by adjusting the perch downward. There is about a 3/8 inch margin out there if you want to drop it in the rear without spring change.

C63 BS, GLA45
Thanks for the kind words. Was fun driving and taking pics all day!
That's the best time to shoot! Easy to get realistic looking HDR like effects using natural light and a single shot.
Yea, my cars spend the majority of time in the back roads into the mountains. Some of the best roads in the country is within an hour from my backyard. 
Yea, the SLS and all the C63's were the quiet cars, how often do you get to see that? 
The Lambos were all cruising on the highway in 2nd gear so that was loud. The M5's... no comparison. Much louder than the Lambos! Even the 911's were loud!
The cruise was definately a C63 vs M5 party. We outnumbered everyone!
Sweet thanks! I'll have to take a peek when I work on corner balancing the car!

Its really quite easy- when the car is up on the rack just remove the spring covers off (those black plastic pieces) and you will see straight up the spring. You will need a 19mm allen wrench with a socket extension. When we played with the bolt we turned it the wrong way and raised the car about 1/4 of an inch on accident. So we then reversed our turns and found out that the car from the factory only left about 1/8 of an inch in drop but I had it dropped that much anyways.

Based on all the Rage2 pics, I switched my color order from silver to black. Not going to promise that I wont change my mind again 
In particular, your car looks so much like it came with the matte black option, not sure why this isnt better? Spend $4k or whatever to get the 3M matte film, protects the paint, can always go back to regular. And what I understand is that if you order matte (almost $4k more from factory), you need to put 3M matte film on it anyway! So sick these pictures...all of them...
