I have the Brabus shocks and springs on. There wasn't a whole lot of difference in the height, but it's definately stiffer and corners tight.

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.

2004 CLK 320
My new (to me) 2004 CLK 320

Hey guys, I just got this CLK 320 a few weeks ago and I love it. I've added the 18" wheels (looking for suspension now) and the trunk lip spoiler (Roof spoiler is being painted. Any coments on the ride quality with Eibach springs would be appreciated.

'04 CLK500
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.

Those slr wheels are on backwards, the vains on the wheels should be facing forward for downforce.
