It's good to see another white W209 out there! What size are your wheels and tires? Also, after dropping your car, do you have camber on your rear wheels?

Thanks for the comments guys.
Im now on Pss9s.. i have to raise the rear just .5" to even it out a bit shes sitting kinda low while the fronts have thin 1.5 finger gap...
Its the real deal... i used to have a replica which i got off one of our members and i had a incident with a racoon...Insurance got me this authentic one..lol. I just shaved the emblems off, but now im contemplating of putting it back on...kinda looks like a huge rock chip on white paint with it on.
The fronts are 235/19/35 and the rears are 275/19/30. Im not sure of the offset, but i will get back with it sometime this week when i fix my pads.

What are the widths of your rims? and what brand tires are you running?
After dropping my car, I had to raise the rear a little also to even it out a bit. For awhile, I was running these 18 x 8 F and 18 x 8.5 R Carlsson 1/6 with some stretched tires and I didn't like it. I was using 215/35 up front and a 240/40 in the rear... needless to say it didn't look good and the front tires sucked ***. The tires were loud and too thin. I like the low-profile look, but it was uncomfortable. I switched back to my stocks for now till I figure out the right size/brand tires and refinish the wheels.
How stiff are the PSS9's?

So if you had to do it again would you purchase the repllica? No problems?

I think I've heard Jon post this before, but the problem with getting a replica Brabus bumper is that they usually don't come with the foglights. I don't know if the stock fogs fit in the Brabus bumper. Jon or Supafly should be able to clarify better than I can.

btw, it originally came from europassion.
save and spend the extra cash on the real deal. Getting the replica (depending on where it came from) may eventually cost you more in the longrun..

at the moment Falken FK452, the front wheels are 19x8.5 and the rears are 19x10s...the tires are a bit stretched in the rear, and the fenders rolled just a tiny bit..... The pss9 is okay.. I guess. I really only got C/O because i can custom the drop...lol im a poseur.
I only picked up the replica bumper because the seller was local and he did all the extra work to get the bumper to fit right...i think he paid somewhere in the 500+ range to re-work the fibreglass and bondo ontop of the baseprice...and then i had to pay another 300 bucks to fix the cracks etc....it was a pain in the ***...The fogs that were used in the replica bumper were made by eurolights?...it came from the local autoparts store and had a custom housing fitted to it.

This is good to know! Thanx for all the info.. I'm still deciding on either the AMG or Brabus.. So the original comes with the fogs and the mesh grill? For $1400 I hope so..I have a guy offering me an OEM AMG for $300 I might go ahead an jump on that..
