II Low going High

Ok, it's been a year or so, car too low with the front @#3 pad though it looks so cool, summertime is coming and tired of not being able to take curves and twists like I want and as fast as I want so I raised my car by 2 pads to the highest pad @#5.








These pictures was taken today, wondering who can tell that I'm running with a #5 pad up front

Well since I have on the H&R Sports Cup Kit, I don't notice a difference in weight balance through curves but I can go fast now. Not sure how fast cause it's still pretty low

Yoh Jimmie, I know you have talked about adding a different bumper but you car is fecking beautiful just the way it is. And, its hard to tell the difference with the thicker pads. Yer only talking a fraction of an inch, no? GO FAST!

Yo Yo Yo, Ash almost got my bumper complete Yes it's hard to tell because it's only a difference of 10mm or half an inch at best.
The best thing about the new bumper I got coming in is my plan to run a CF AMG Lip.

Is Williams the man or what? Cause if he's not the man, I don't know who is. Williams rolling up is like Melo shootin hoops and me shootin hoops: same ball, but it's UNQUESTIONABLY a different game.

Thanks a ton Will, I appreciate it. Btw I TOTALLY agree. We didn't buy CLK's to look like granny's....we riding silver bullets!!! Did the radiation upgrade help at all?! hahahaahahahahahaha YEEEEAAAHHHH. If anyone has any performance upgrades to sell, holla at ya boy YOUNG MONEY!

Funny story---the first week I had gotten my CLK, i took it to the DMV to get registered. While waiting in the parking lot I had 2 girls come up to me in awe of the silver and chrome setup with the DARK *** tint. A bunch of guys come up to me and ask me "yo where do you keep the magnet? Does it come stock?" I said "yeah it's a silver star on the hood"!!!

CLK's ALL DAY!
