I have that setup on my 320. The front wheel gap is great but I've been thing about going to a #2 pad in the rear. I have the lorinser DTM kit on mine and the rear looks like it sits too high. I also have 19" wheels.

#1 99' e class pads
How much of a gap do you have in the front with the 99 #1 eclass pads? Yeah #2 clk pads would fit nice with 19z, no gap. just trying to get rid of the gap int he front. it is still 2 fingers while inthe back is like 1 finger. i have 18 inch wheels.

For some odd reason my driver side was always lower then the passanger side. The driver side has @ 1 finger gap front and rear. The passanger side has @ 1.5 gap front and rear. 
I tried to figure it out in the past but got no-where.

It's a good thing I know how to change the pads myself

WhAT THE? #1 in the fronts and # 3 in the rear is a great combination. i would imagine the whole suspention and or frame would be tweeking and making noises with different sizes on each wheel

I tried to figure it out in the past but got no-where. Sup small dog. i have the exact same issue. about .5 off from left to right. my driver side back and front is lower than mah passenger back and front. i would imagine it to be opposite to accomodate the weight of the driver, but thats not the case. maybe the battery in the back is on the left side and steerign wheel compenets as well. but cant figureit out mahself. i am gonna go with #1 clks in the back and #1 e class onthe front next week. imma see if i can figure this out.....

I have # 1s in the front as well. I think the 19" wheels give me the extra clearance I need for the alignment racks.
