My '04 CLK55 Black on Black W/ 19" Brabus Mono V
Here are finally some pictures of my CLK55. Hope you guys like them. I haven't seen too many of W209 with Brabus Mono V chrome, so I decided to get them. I know the blacked out inside with polished lip is in, but I decided to go for old chrome on black look. Let me know what you think! 
Also, should I lower it?
Setup:
Front: 19x8.5 with Mich PS2 235x35x19
Rear: 19x9.5 with Mich PS2 275x30x19
No rubbing and good grip!

I am seriously considering Brabus springs since it is about 25mm drop and there will be no wear on shocks or camber issues.

Brabus answered all my questions... so at this point I feel most comfortable with them. Plus, I will not need a camber kit since it doesn't drop as much.
