Finally took the plunge on wheels and suspension, photos








2001 CLK 430 cabrio

Wheels & Tires
Zenetti Deuce Chrome with Toyo Proxes 4 Tires
Front - 19/8.5" - 235/35/19
Rear - 19/9.5" - 245/35/19

Springs - Eiback Pro (Tirerack)

Spring pads
Front - 3
Rear - 3

Shocks - Koni Yellow, set to soft. (Tirerack)

I was concerned about the ride quality getting worse. It is now much BETTER than before the change. The ride WAS very rough and I could feel every texture in the road. I now have a soft, smooth, quiet ride. Worth every penny.
