Cool New wheels!
I got my Brabus springs installed and some new wheels. The springs are nice. Actually, seem softer than the stock for some reason but I'm not sure since I haven't driven it enough but I like the new height. I wasn't planning on getting new wheels but I couldn't pass up a great deal and the car was just begging for something. I really want to get some multi-piece brabus or hre but I will have to wait until I save up some money. Ride seems okay, alittle rough over bumps and a little louder on the highway maybe. With valentine's my girlfriends birthday, new phone, and the car, I've spent close to 60k in one month. Doh, anyways. Decided not to debadge, at least not until I put something worthwhile under the hood. So here's a couple pics after clay and zaino.

Well done, your ride really looks good. I'm also interested to note you have gone for 18x8.5 all round. I personally do not like the staggered wheel and tyre sizes.

thanks everyone! The springs probably lowered 1.5 in the front and 1 in the rear, just my guess. Should be similar to eibach. I know I read a post somewhere on mbworld that specified but I am very happy with them. As for the price for the whole setup, I cant say except that I am pretty sure I got a very good deal. The guys at F1 motorsport in Hollywood hooked me up and they are a great shop to deal with. Very nice guys.

Calboy,

I think the wheels look great on the car & you dropped it just enough. I saw the car in the Service dept. the other day, anything wrong? I hope it was something minor. Anyways, the car is beautiful & I really like that color on the CLK!!
