Looks great. I am doing the same thing and with the same car. What springs did you go with? I am set with new front bushings, got the Kmac align kit ( did you have any alignment issuses after dropping?) have the 18's breaks are great with the AMG's. Did paint them red for show.

I went with H&R Cab Springs and Bilsteins. Ride is really good. Smooth. I also went with rear camber adjusters. I need to put some miles on it. Right now though it drives great. More feeling, performs with less effort. I will see about fronts in a couple weeks after an alignment.

Dang, that would be a fun drive but a real drive. I am thinking of using the Euro spec spirngs for the drop and leaving the stock shocks.
