Nah i haven't installed them yet, I'm waiting for my sway bars coming in tomorrow and probably install everything on Friday. Did you lower the car? Did they use spacer in the front? Post up some pics of how they look!

if is a spacer then should I take it out or something...I think the one they give it to me is a plastic one.. but that one is really thin. If i take that out then I know i will have the vibration when the car is running..Am I right??

[QUOTE=dynomite05;2797082]I bought the wood steering wheel from Steve@MBenzNL.com 3 years ago. Although I don't recall the exact price, I think it was around $400-500 USD. My buddy who worked in MB installed it for me and it took 10 minutes.
The wood steering wheel is a great compliment to the beautiful interior of a CLK. Its well worth the money, you look at it and feel the smoothness of the polish wood every time you drive!
If you are looking for one, I would recommend that you get it from Steve.

It feels very smooth while idle.

I wouldn't remove the spacers. I'm sure they put it there for a reason. Perhaps to clear the brake calipers. Can you post pics? The wheels stick out because they weren't made for your car and the offsets are wrong. I would return it, unless you like your front wheels to stick out. If your car is lowered and you hit a bump or a pothole, your front fenders/tires could be damaged.

Went to the dealership today and although they could not duplicate the problem during a road test, they replaced the mass airflow sensor under extended warranty.
I then drove a short distance to get home, no hesitation. Not sure if this fixes the problem, will report in 1-2 days.

I drove around today and the idle /hesitate issues are gone.
However, I noticed that when I stop the car, the car will jerk once at the end of the braking. This happens every time no matter I gently I brake. This is probably related to the mass airflow sensor that they replaced 2 days ago.
I was not sure so I asked my friend to try the car, he noticed the same.

Yea Vibrations is gone!!! Thats not my car in my sig I found the picture on the net..And if you are talking about the ECU reset were you have to hold the gas down while the key is in the ON position then yea I tried it and I felt a little difference but only for about a day or so.
