I just put in the H&R springs and it still looks like it riding a little to high but it dose handle alot better!!! it will probably look alot better with 19's!

BEFORE



AFTER

looks good to me just right

the wheels are small! cut the springs or go with larger wheels i am running h&r sport and 19" wheels looks realy gd.

You are right it looks alittle high but it does handle better and u just have to let springs settle ..check this out I just lowered mine with Eibach for a couple days ago and 15% tint.

dang i like that im about to paint my calipers just need to order the amg decals and paint, i need about 2-3 weeks and ill paint hte hood bumper wheels and brakes. and im filling in the emblem on the hood!!!

hahaah u should but there is one thing I know for sure that your will look better than mine cause u have the AMG caliper and I dont. Do you plan to buy the front lip any time soon ? I say u should lolz.

Andy

i do want one but i might have to hold out i found a buddy of mine that does some welding and im going to try to get a qwad. exh. together!!! but if i find a lip for a good price ill buy one.
PS/ any one but leds in the tail lights!??? like the led 1157 bulbs!?!

Yup quad exhausts are a way to go then Rear diffuser coming along too right ??? lolz. For the LED I dont think anyone has try that yet.

Andy

dam i dont want to spend lot on a diffuser!! im about to try to some want covert my tail lights to leds. kuz my tail lights are blacked out!!! like paint matching black!! ill post pics as new things come into play

Sorry no offend but why would you paint your calipers yellow on a silver car? That's kinda ricey

btw the drop on both car are very nice... so tempted!!!!!!!!!!

I agree.... yellow calipers on silver? Then again you do have chrome trim around your tail lights, so i am not overly shocked.

That came off rude, but I guess chrome tail trim looks a litte hoodtastic i.m.o.

that house in the picture is also HOODtastic! lol

Sorry but I still can't believe people suggest others to cut springs....

because it looks good on chrome wheels TO ME AT LEAST

Andy

and why not??

For looks alone sure you can do what you want . I suspect that a lot of benz owners don't care much about performance or funcationality and they do whatever to make the car look nice.

Technical talking, I'm sure someone else has mentioned this as well, when you cut springs, it ruins the integrity of the springs because they are designed to perform best at their specs.

In the world of modding, people will say you are ricer for cutting springs, painting calipers, installing neon lights, putting on huge none-fuctional wings, etc etc...

I dont know what u thinking but painting the calipers and cutting springs( stock ? no and aftermarket yes) are the way ppls do it here in this forum....U need to search before you say something like this....and no im not mad because u dont like my caliper U might not like because I dont have the AMG Caliper but what if I replace those with one of those Brembo kits is it difference ? or u still call me ricer ? lolz. Neon lights and huge wings uhh no not for me. I think I know what "ricer" means

Andy

R u making fun of my house ? lol

/\This is not my first time signing for a forum nor my first time reading threads like this. I come from a much more performance oriented car, S2000, and knowledge from a much more performance oriented forum, S2ki.

Like I said, if it's pure looks, you can cut any springs you want. From a performance standpoint, it's absolutely dumb to cut springs. Just because you read a bunch of threads about people cutting springs and are happy, that doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. If you want to do it correctly, get coilovers.

If you can afford to get an CLK, then I'm sure you can afford to get some coilovers.

No not at all! I was just joking

No I cant and just something for u to know not all the ppls like coilovers. I rather have Eibach and Biltein shocks but thats just me.

OH yeah and I would get brembo brakes in your case instead of painting the calipers. What are you achieving by painting the calipers? trying to look like you have after market calipers (Brembo?) ? Some people might call that posing....

posing of what ? did u see any Brembo sticker ?

Eibach and Blistein shocks are a good combo for many cars. But they cost almost as much as some coilovers. According to fattony, KW-2 are around 1200 (sounds a a great deal) and they're really great coilovers. Coilovers are more functional than shocks and springs because you can adjust the height and the "softness" or "stiffness" of the ride.

But sure different strokes for different folks
