In this shot the rear was a little high due to not releasing the e-brakes after install..

2001CLK- can you post a side view pic of the car so i can see overall how it looks?

by the way, is your car lowered? If so, what is the setup?

Has anyone measured thier hubs for use with the 10mm or 12mm H&R spacers and what was the result? Please post whether it was a 320, 430 or 55 as well.

Looks great! I just got my H&R 20mm's today and have 1 installed so far. I had the 12mm on the rears and I'm trying to decide which looks better. I remember thinking that the 12mm's were a little too aggressive at first but then I LOVED the look and was wishing for just a little more. Maybe the 15mm's.........

Btw, the 12mm's do not fit on the front on my 430. They will not go flush against the hub.

i think the 12mm's is good, 15mm might look good also... but from this angle, the 20mm looks like the wheels are protruding tooo much.

its 1 step too close to those ghetto lowriders (those with 14" wire rims & hydraulics)

do you happen to have a pic with 20mm, looking straight from back to front so we can see how much it stick out? something inline with the car, no angle shots

Ok here another one. I just installed the other side and it's looking better as the suspension settles.
As you can see it really doesn't stick out. It's not even quite flush at the very top. I had my wife take it for a drive back in forth down the street and I tell ya, it looks pretty aggressive! Of course what CLK doesn't look good with a cute blonde driving it.....

btw, I can't seem to get a good picture to really show how it looks.

2001CLK,

looks good man, that is white correct? with the glare it looks white but dont want it to be brilliant silver and the colors be weirded out on my computer. I love white on the CLK (thus the reason i bought white ), now you need some tint man, cant have people lookin in and seein your stuff and breakin it to steal it. love the car though, keep up the good work.

Eric

2001CLK,

Your car looks sick.

Do the sport shocks/springs lower the ride height? With the current setup would your wheels rub?
