Does this look about right?

Just installed 2 washers all around and really couldn't tell whether my car really dropped or if it was just in my mind. I raised the Merc and dropped it with the adj suspension and drove it around and here is the end result. Is there something I'm not doing right?


Also, who says SL wheels won't fit on 215's!!!
LOL hahaha.

Your worst nightmare...
Looks fine to me, the wheels in the rear stick out a bit too much IMO, but everything else is fine, including the drop.

It looks oem height from the pics and yes the SL rims will fit ( Mercedes has the same bolt pattern on most of their cars) but the rear offset looks a little suspect.

cool

Thanks for the imput guys. Yeah I knew the bolt pattern for the SL's the same but because offsets are different. I've been told the calipers wouldn't clear. And for some reason in the pic the rear seem like they stick out alot more than they really do. Thanks for helping out a newbie. BTW, I'm super happy I pick the 55 over a 600 cause I was going back/forth between the 2.

Looks stock height to me as well, and the rear sticks out too much...you will scrap if the car is even lower when going over dips.
