I didn't want to sacrifice the ride or the ABC struts for purely aesthetics reasons. I'm getting old

Definitely, just hit me up. But now I charge three times as much as I used to

Just a little informational tidbit but Brabus wheels are made by Work Wheels in Japan.

I believe Brabus wheels are made by Ronal in Germany, not Work.

If you are going to lower, I think you hit the nail on the head looks-wise. It looks just right. Any lower, and people will assume you wear your pants on your thighs.

Hope the camber got adjusted so your tires wear properly.

I don't know the numbers, but I have seen complaints of lowered Mercs suddenly having much faster tire wear on one edge of the tires. I probably can't post a link to a competing forum.

Yeah, I'm going to see if I notice them wearing significantly faster. If so, I'll invest in a camber kit.
