Nice look.... I like the black Monarch wheels...
Did you have them powdercoated, or can you buy them in black?

You just swapped out the springs with H&R? what about the struts, are they stock? How does it ride/control compared to stock? Did you get a camber kit? If not be ready to change your tires soon, at least the rear ones! Anyway, looks great!!!!
Just gotta change the side markers......

the tips are quite close togeather.. this will be changed on monday, i ordered a cf diffuser so they are gonna be spread apart like a normal amg..
i just did the h&r springs, i am taking the car in on sat to do the alignment.. sonic told me to leave the car for a few days for the springs to bed in etc.
The car is coming along really well, the sidemarkers are getting tinted silver.. just havent had time to do this yet.. its on the list of things to do..
i am also looking for some brembo calipers.. i wanna switch my front and rears to brembo
as for the ride.. all i can say is wow... when you turn the wheel the car goes there.. the ride has stiffened up in a good way.. no more bouncing on the freeway and no more bodyroll.. its the best mod..

yep.. monarch.. they are the 19" version in matte black.. limited numbers were made.. so hopefully i wont see anyone else running them... those gun metal ones are everywhere.. not tooting my own horn.. but the matte black version look like proper 3 piece wheels..

im so happy that you dont have a rumbling noise in the cabin when cruising.
It kinda acts like an amg.. loud when you want it to be
