Thumbs up Getting ready for Atlanta!! New springs and wheels!
Leonardo's Euro springs arrived today. Put on my new 18's last night. Springs to be installed this week end. I will be ready for Atlanta.

Many thanks to Learso for the Euro springs and to Chappy for spring pad part numbers.

Review of ride and handling to follow.

Here's a better picture of the euro springs and pads installed in a CLK55 coupe. I took this picture but I don't recall who the car belonged to. Any ideas? If you want a full size pic, I'll email it.

Appreciate your thoughts, but no way could I do this on my own. Beowulf and Schiznick are knee-deep in the pot with me.

I load mine onto the computer, then resize them smaller (medium size in the windows options) and then upload them to http://imageshack.us/ but you can use any file hosting site. Then when you post a message click on the insert image icon above the text window (it's yellow with a picture of a mountain and sun on it). The insert image icon will open a window for a URL link. You can copy and paste the url link for the different sizes (I choose the bottom link on each pic).
