haha that means a lot, she has her fair share of VIP parts, so Im glad you approve. haaa. Clean and functional is what I am going for. the car handles great with the strut bars. and I have 15mm spacers on all four corners. and rolled all of my fenders. Its not over kill at all like the crazy camber cars. its just nice and flush the way I like it. My next project might be air ride, So I can slam it when I want to. and have a good ride for long drives. this thing is pretty low.

The combination between the rear LED's and the projector headlights, make this car look brand new. Such an easy upgrade with huge huge improvements for looks at a very fair price.

for the air ride check out autogear.com. the owner is a good friend of mine, his name is Kevin, tell him your a friend of Ash and he'll take care of you. He makes billet aluminum air ride systems that mount on any spring/shock or coil over setup without the hassle of the air bags that pop all the time and they are very small and aluminum so you'll never have issues. his system works with any setup and doesnt require you to cho up your suspension liketraditional air rides. very nice and they are good for aggressive driving, by body has it on his porsche and his sl55. and my other friend has it on his ferrari. hit me up later and i'll give you details.

Thanks fellas, Running Vogtland springs, w/o any spring pads. Bilstein sports.
Really would like to do air ride, but not sure how much money I want to throw into it. How many air ride CLK's are out there? Not too many! haha

I totally agree, I find it hard to see cars with wheels that dont sit right, especially if the rears sit in, they just gotta be to the edge to work!
You can get 20mm on the back if you roll the edge.
PS I tried to fit my rear hubcentric spacer on the front wheels but strangely the spacer did not fit over the flange>? can you help here?
" IF it dont rub, It don't fit ! "

Yeah I almost want to go 20mm all around, and stretch my tires a little so they wont rub, all my arches are rolled. and You have to buy the w209 front spacers for our car. they have a special cap/lip on them that fits over our wheel bearing cap and lets it sit snug. So w209 front spacers WILL fit our car. and its the only spacer that will fit the front of our car.
