Raking CLK430
Hi Fellas,
I just bought a polished 18" x 8.5" Brabus Monoblock Type VI two pieces with tires 255/35/18 rear & 225/40/18 front. I was thinking if this will look good if I rake my car 1.3" and still keep the rear the way it is or just lower it 1.3" all around? Any opinion on this? Will it look funny or aggressive? I want my car to have that bad *** attitude look, yet with elegant.
Thanks.

I achieved that look very nicely with the same size rims as yours, H+R springs, and Koni shocks. They used H+R spacers in the back, which helps the aggressive look, and the raking pretty much takes care of itself. You don't want to leave the rear stock, because you'd have a ridiculous 1+ inch difference. The car has an agressive enough stance, in my opinion, with the setup I have. Very mean looking.
