CLK500 SPORT
i like the look but i think the back needs to come up alittle and then it would be perfect even all around

This is pre- Koni installation. It remained the same though with the Koni's. As far as the ride frickin love it. I love the fact that I can adjust the ride, bilstein's you can't do that. I used Bilstein on my M5 and it was a good ride but I perfer the Koni's. I almost got the coilover kit, I'm glad I didn't cuz I heard the ride is rough.

I'm pretty sure it was [8741 1412SPORT] but I'll look tonight I still have the box in the garage. If you look that number up I know it shows they are for a W203, I did plenty of research on this and so did my mechanic. I will confirm the part # later today.

Yep, exactly. I was skeptical at first as well, but with all research I did it was clear.

I could, but what is going on to some degree is the inclined slope of the driveway is causing the lower rear look. When the car is on a flat surfact it's pretty even.

Yo FAST, they are pretty stiff on the highest setting. I'm backed out pretty far and the ride is sweet.

btw, did you get hub centric rings for those rims?
have you found pads for the w209? I went to the dealer and they stated only pads in the rear, nothing to be adjusted in the front.
