Any suggestions, I am in the glen Burnie area and no one wants to touch my car. H&R springs with #2 pads up front and #1 pads in the rear.

ITSEL - I know why no one wants to touch your ride.... it's because the thing's soooooo sick! Isn't your ride the red CLK with the Lorinser kit and the Axis Milanos? I have a pic of it saved on my hard drive @ home.

My CLK is dumped looow to the ground w/aftermarket springs & camber kit etc. I've taken it to Curry's Auto Service in Sterling VA. near Dulles Airport (571) 522-1002. They've aligned it for me w/no problems.

If that's too far away for you, or doesn't sound good - why don't you PM blackbenzz - he lives in MD and I'm sure his mental encyclopedia o'benz will contain some useful information for you.

haters crazy
I've heard good things about Curry's. I personally took mine to Lehigh Autobody which is right by RRT (Road Race Technologies). I think its in Sterling VA. They have an inground alignment rack and they do all the alignments for RRT. I tried taking it to Ferrari dealer first but they only wanted $500 Lehigh charges 120ish if I remember correctly. I dont know anywhere in MD. I can look into it more for you.
Marco, your car sits exactly how mine does... in my dreams

Do a search under ITSEL33 and it should come up under ITSEL33 LORINSER CLK 430.
