Thanks,
I purchased the H&R's & E-class pads - installed them and that's what you see in the pictures. It sits on stock shocks and of course the 19's help the stance as well (it fills the gap much nicer IMO).

Cheers,

Lance

The wheels are 19 x 8.5 front & 19 x 9.5 rear with 235/35/19 (Front) & 265/30/19 (Rear) tires.

Hope this helps,

Awesome job. I really like. I personally would have probably gone #2 or #3 but either way they look excellent. What about wheel weight. How much do the wheels & tires weigh compared to stock? I know the stock 17s are actually pretty heavy, I just want to make sure these aren't any heavier. Excellent look.

They don't weigh much (if any) more. Thanks for your kind comments.

To be perfectly honest - I LOVE IT! Before I felt the car transfer weight (in a bad way) when hitting the brakes, accelerator and during turns. Now it's much tighter - which I prefer. The car doesn't lean nearly as bad as before - exactly what I was trying to accomplish with the new look/feel too. The wonderful thing is... during cruises on the highway you can't tell the difference - very smooth. If you are driving in a city, the H&R's are wonderful. The 19's could cause a problem, but the H&R's are great! The 19 inch diameter is something that anyone knows going into that you could bend 'em easily if you hit a pothole & etc. I hope this mini-review helps!

Cheers,

Lance

Looks great Lance, if my carlsson kit ever gets messed up beyond repair, I will put back the amg kit on, good to see it will still look good either way. The drop is pretty even..any more mods coming?

CurYousGee-

I appreciate your kind comments - yes, I dig the look too. I'm not certain yet. Anyone selling an exhaust?!?!?

Does anyone know where to look to tell what pad (#1, 2, 3?) I currently have on my CLK? and Where is the best place to get H&R spring?

Thanks,

I bought my H&R's from TireRack.com - reasonably price & very reputable company.

Good luck with your drop...
