I really like it but I think it needs a drop asap!

Rob@Strasse

Looks great!

l3iGD

Rob - That CLS is nasty.
benz_addict - what procedure of dropping it would you recommend? I am looking forward to exhaust / LSD / and tuning!

Lowering module.

Did you use one radride? If so what kind? Ever any problems? I currently need to rebuild my rear valve block. It sinks on the driver's side left after turning the car off for a bit. Trying to get the rebuild done, instead of paying Mercedes $1,400 + labor for another rebuilt unit! As soon as I turn the car on, it pops right back to usual drive height and drives perfectly.

Yes. I am running a lowering module. I love having the ability to shut it off and put it back up to stock height, adjust the height of the car up to 50mm lower or 2". Some will argue that the lowering links is the way to go but do your own homework. I got mine from here:

Rad, did you install it yourself or have it professionally installed? No wire splicing right?

How does it ride dropped 50mm? Looks like you're on 20's right?

Hey Rad ride looks crazy nice. What wheels are those? 20s?

radride

Its not hard to install. I did everything except swap the 4 wires that are required because I didn't have a pic small enough.

As far as the ride quality at 50mm, if I leave the ABC sport off its pretty smooth and takes bumps well. Once I turn it on, it really has a nice sport stiff feeling that I like. It also helps that its that much closer to the ground.



Those wheels are custom WORK VS XX 3 piece wheels with 20x9" on the front and 20x10.5" on the rear.

That's a beautiful setup! I am getting a little concerned about some common maintenance issues on the CL65. I am currently flushing and rebuilding my rear valve block for ABC system which isn't that big of a deal. I am more concerned about the potential of the oil cooler needing replaced/repaired. How do you other 65 owners feel about this? Do you own your car with confidence without an aftermarket warranty? It is such a beautiful monster, It would be sad to go back to my CL55, but am considering doing so. Any comments on this would be greatly appreciated!

I lowered mine via lowering links for about $250. Owning a cl65 without a warranty could get costly very quick. What did you pay for it if you don't mind me asking?

hideous grill.

What he said. Stop ricing!

Limited Edition 190E

I like the grill. It has the newer style but is subtle with the blacked out chrome strips.

C280 Sport

Stunning! BTW How many cars are in your fleet now

radride
