2001 CLK-430
Pics of my new wheels

I figured out how to get the Eibach's on the front/back installed. The fronts were a little tough, but I got the hang of it once we did one side.

Anyway, the wheels I got are the SSR GT3's. 19 x 8" in the front, and 19 x 9" in the back with Pirelli P-Zero's. Here's some pics:










Let me know what you think.

Yeah I bought them from him last week. I have to hand it to him, the wheels were absolutely immaculate when I got them.

As soon as I figure out how to do it, I'm all over it.

Great job on the install. I heard it ain't easy with the front suspension. Drop is nice and not too low!

Sorry for the late reply.... but, no, I left the stock shocks on there. They seemed to still be ok. If you need help doing the suspension on your car, let me know. I know all the tools you'll need. It's really not that hard (compared to other cars I've worked on). Just hit me up on here.

Whatever the stock pads are is what stayed on there. I think I need to bring the front down a little bit, so I ordered #2's. I think those should be ok.

spring pads are only for the rear I believe. Only way to lower the front is to change the springs.
