How much is an alignment going to add?
I was budgeting $1,000 for springs & Shocks installed.
My car only has 6000 miles on it, should I wait till I drive over a curb or two and need an alignment anyway?
Also, the reason I was waiting on the tires (other than money) is I put a lot of miles on the car, I thought I might as well wait till the tires need replacing anyway.
But if I am planning to be trading my car in for a 2004 clk 500 cab, should I buy wheels that would look good on both cars now, store my stock rims and relativly new tires, and then bring the car back to stock as a trade in saving my wheels for the 04 cab?
Do these aftermarket parts add any value to a trade in?
All opinions welcome

Ufortunately, after market parts (for the most part) don't add much value, if any. It really depends on whether or not your future buyer values the stuff.
H&R spring installation should be around 200-250 depending on your area. The Koni shocks are excellent combined with H&R springs. You should be under or around 1000 installed, minus alignment.
springs - about 250
shocks - 99 each
shipping - 50 to 100 depending on where you are.
labor - 250
total - 1000
Those prices are from us. shop around and get some different quotes - evosport, tire rack are also other places you can check. Remember, service is also very important. You will get excellent service from all 3 of us.
Wheels that look good now may not look good in 2004, or there may be more styles that come out that make current ones look outdated. For example, the AMG aero I which was available a few years back looks bad compared to the styling II monoblock.

Don't forget about the negative camber kit. After lowering the car, you have some negative camber that you should be able to adjust for in the front, but you'll need a kit for the rear. K-Mac sells one for about $225, I think.
