My two latest mods:suspension, laser jammer. lots of pics, 56k beware
Koni shocks, H&R springs
BEFORE pics:
rear wheel gap (above)
front wheel gap (above)
Spring comparison (old ones were shot)
Shock comparison
New setup on left, old on right
Front setup
AFTER pics:
Rear wheel gap (above)
Front wheel gap (above)
Rear laser jammer

It doesnt look like the front was lowered that much, maybe because the front shocks were so worn out? Let me know what you think

Ha, put some emphasis on the ISH there, its my sister's 323i, if you look hard in most pics that i post you can see reflections of the ML430 or the E430.
The installation was as follows
H&Rs - $250 (evosport)
Konis - $409 (PureMS)
Labor - $380 (local shop, got a bit ripped off there i think)
Total $1039
I have dual front laser jammers but havent yet installed them, its a pretty intimidating install i think, you have to drill and mount brackets somewhere on the front of the car (discreetly) and balance them within 5 degrees of the road to ensure proper function.

Nice pics as usual!! And it looks so much better....the way the CLK should have come factory.
How do you like the ride and ride quality? Have you had it aligned yet? Spring pads the same?

car looks good king320. that did end up being a lot for installation, but i guess it does depend on location. i don't know that any other shop would have done it cheaper - especially if they're a specialty shop. it's done now though and it looks good
can you take another after pic at the same level of the car (sideview) as the before? i'd like to see a comparison to see how the wheel gaps actually ended up being different from the sideview.
looks really good :p

cops can impound your car for laser jammers? i didn't know that. is that true for all states, or just some. i knew that radar jammers were illegal more often than laser jammers. i checked online and found this site:
http://www.radarbusters.com/support/...ector-laws.asp
they list states where laser jammers and radar jammers are illegal. do you know something different about the laws mtimmy?

hellcat...are laser "shifters" the same as laser jammers? i know radar detectors are legal pretty much everywhere except VA and DC. are radar "jammers" legal anywhere? i thought they were. if you see my post above i found a site with some specifics on radar detectors, laser jammers and radar jammers. i don't, however, know if the site is legit. i might try to find a government site with specifics.

Laser shifters are legal everywhere i'll be driving except for VA and DC, so i turn the system off when im in those areas. I did the front shifters today man, that was a pain. there was no place to mount them on the bumper so i ended up fabricating mounts out of a front license plate holder (wierd i know). Ill post pics of the process later.

To add onto that, there are passive and active jammers which are different. Active radar jammers are illegal everywhere, there was a ban by the FCC on those for the reasons King said. I'm not sure about passive radar jammers but the passive laser jammers are legal in most states. For some reason they are regulated by the FDA and not the FCC.
