Its just because in most times i see that the back of cars is kinda lower then the front, in yours i like the height, not too low and specially not in the back...

It's a perfect height where you don't have to worry about speed bumps and steep driveways. I'd still like it a little lower. Adding larger wheels to the vehicle also raises it up some as well. Even with thinner tires, it definately looked taller before I switched out the suspension. I think if I end up going 19 for wheels, it would be even higher, and probably look stock.

The reasone why most cars look like they're lower in the back is because the wheel well in the rear is smaller than the front. I'm not sure what MB was trying to achieve with that; but I think it had something to do with the way it looks when they're the same size. The front is bigger because your front wheels rotate and needs the space for steering.

Mono BlockVI

Did anybody have to use 5mm spacers on the front with the Brabus MonoBlockVI reps? I just bought a set and was wondering before the install.

C class 2 doors

Hi I'm a newbie to this forum. I apologize for the dirty car, I'll wash it next time before I take pics. I bought these small wheels with buttons. The sales guy recommended not to get big ones since they are heavier and will rub. They seem to look smaller than stock for some reason.

The wheels are called DCR catalunya. They're 19" 3 piece forged and the rear lip is alittle larger than 3.5" Originally I wanted to get 20" rims, but I was told it's not a good idea. In the end I settled for these small ones.

I hate to break it to you, but it ain't a CL 500, it's a CLK 500.
