yeah but i also thought i saw on either here or benzworld that the PSS9s were around 13-14 hundred...maybe im wrong

dariusf

yes they are but with them on there was very little hub left exposed and at least the wheels I have cones down to proper size so there was not enough hub left exposed to center the wheel.

saltydizzle

ahh gotcha

dariusf

There was some other thread that had a nice illustration of the issue. I got these wheels from Coin and he had I think 3mm spacers in the rear with no issues as far as I know.

Not sure if deferent years / models had deferent hub dimensions as in more or less of the hubs exposed?

BTW. I installed the Bilstein PSS9 last month.

And VS my stock AMG suspension : the PSS9 are better ! in every way

The PSS9 are the way to go ! seriously

(They even clear my BIG stock 6 pistons caliper up front
i'm still on my OEM wheels) soo no spacer needed

FTW

dynomite05

Awesome! What setting are you on? Have any pics from the side? Thanks for your help

What brand/model tire did you go with this time, Wes? Same sizes?


Here is my suspension specs (2004 CLK500):
Springs: Stock
Shocks/Struts: Bilstein HD
Sway Bars: H&R F/R
Wheels: MMR GT1 F:19x8.5 R:19x9.5
Tires: Falken 452 F:235/35/19 R:265/30/19

Comments:
Rides a little firmer than stock, much less body roll during aggressive turning, no tire rubbing.

I had the same brand rims and tires as you but my front was 225. This time I went with a 235 and the Hankook Evo v12. Less noise, and I feel like they take bumps better. They make a BIG difference!

lol this thread is doing whats its supposed to do. everyone here here talking about suspension. eventually we need to get this biatch pinned up there. ahah with pics and everything.

edit: updated first post with part numbers for springs. a little more info on the shocks. Also added a C/O section for the guys interested in that. And i will continue posting as i research!

reading while driving the entire thread...

I believe im dropped 1.4 around. Damper is set between the middle and the softest setting.

dynomite05

Cool, If you had a lip in the front do you think it would rub

saltydizzle

i do have a lip up front too. its about 2in and it does not rub. but its also dropped as far as it can go without rubbing which is not as aggressive as some.. the only thing is with the KWs you will need a spacer up front to clear the suspension.

dynomite05

Awesome, that's what I was worried about with the CO's. Just want to make sure I could make it up the curb into the driveway...lol

saltydizzle

lol yeah you should have no problems with rubbing unless you are going to slam the **** out of it

dynomite05

Whenever you get a chance to post pics it would help me out

saltydizzle

ill see if i can get some close up pics of the front for you...gimme a few days, might have to wait until friday after the wash and wax.

dynomite05

No prob I have until July

saltydizzle

lol ok sounds good

dariusf

I think we would not mind the pics even if the car is dirty and not waxed

saltydizzle

Lol I know u guys don't mind but id rather get some clean photos for you
