No problem. Good luck with the install. Don't forget to use locktight on the front upper bolts, and use the factory captive nuts where you can.

Thanks David M///

Just wanted to say thanks for all the research and info.

I have to say I agree with your decision as this seems to be the easiest, most flexible, cost effective, and not to mention; reversable solution.

After this Brea job today I'm gonna stop by over to see the boys up in Walnut.

This is why MB world is good stuff...now if only if they would get the W216 forum up and running!!!
