New Mods and Pics

Just picked it up yesterday from the shop. The wheels are reps from Eurotech wrapped in Hankook EVO 12's 235/35/19F and 265/30/18R. No spacers and no issues with rubbing. Rides Awesome! AMG front bumper with projector fogs (shrouds painted glossy black and 6000k HID kit from HIDextra). Akenbono pads and R1concepts cross-drilled/slotted rotors. Switched from #2 to #1 pads in rear. OEM AMG trunk spoiler. Thanks to Gary for the Eurotek CF lip and to Jon for the ED CF 3 slat grill (Finally).

Yea man Thanks for that! It really compliments the lip! I just sanded the ends with my dremel, too much fiberglass. Those pics are without the mesh. I painted it flat black, just don't know if I want to put it back on.

Nah I bought the Vogtlands to try them out. The person I bought them from said they had the same drop height as the H&R's but it turned out to be the same as the Eibach's. Too high for me

Thanks, I'm using Bilstein HD's with H&R springs.

I figured Klinh would say something negative. PSS9's coming soon that should help correct that problem. Considering how the the car came out overall a half inch gap doesn't really bother me.

I'm in exact position you were before your current setup. Big gap in the front. Have you shopped around for the PSS9's and what best prices / best place to buy have you found?

Haven't really shopped around but figured I would be spending around 2k. H&R springs will do for now, but the more I look at the front gap the more I want the PSS9's

That's because you guys are using H&R spring. H&R spring ALWAYS lower the rear more then any other springs and that why the fender gap are so much difference. Another thing I didn't like H&R spring, the car rear squad pretty bad under hard acceleration from a stop and it look nasty.
