New wheels, tires,and suspension...
It was an expensive day, but I think it was worth it... Brabus staggered 18's reps, Falken 225's front, 265's rear, Eibach pros, #1 pads.. I think I'll be ordering a camber kit soon...

Thanks guy's! These pics were taken right after the springs were put in so the front hadn't settled down all the way yet, and I also just filled the tank up with gas, so that added some weight to the rear. She seems to have settled down nicely now, and I love how the negative camber makes the car look sooo nasty, but I don't want to be buying tires twice a year, so I'm gonna fix that up quick...lol.... Next up is some drilled, and slotted rotors, and some low dust pads, 'cause the ones on there now throw off way too much dust, and I have to clean the wheels every two days...

i think ur good with ur camber.u shouldnt run through tires that fast.if any thing just pay attention to the inside of your tires and just have the rears switched.about the front being higher just get lower spring pads and you will be golden my friend.

that is the lowest because our clk dont go to number 1.
yes the neg camber makes it look good but it will be better once u get spacer and the camber kit and it will get it close to the fender and it will look sick.
i did the same thing with the drilled /slotted rotors and low dust pad. they help out big time and even change the brake line and get the steel breaded one , they are on $119.. big diff.
Good luck and once again nice ride.
