about the AMG suspension why you changed it??? dose the leavel of the lower changed???

also whats your current suspension you are using now??? and what part did you changed to lower the car to look so sexy like that???

I hope to get this answers..

Thanks..
The current suspension I am now using is Brabus suspension kit, which includes springs and shocks. The reason i want with this suspension is because it lowers the car ride height by 1" (which is not too drastic, yet good enough to kill the wheel gap.) It also maintains the factory ride but is still a little firmer, i think it's a good improvement over teh AMG kits because the car is more sure footed now.

Staggered is the rear wheels are wider then the front, usually the rear wheels are deeper (bigger lip) then the front wheels.

I got the Phillips 6000k bulbs from hid4less.com

amgbred: do you see a big difference between 6000k and 4300k? (I assume our cars have 4300k), do you have any before and after pictures? i think the 6000k bulbs are pretty expensive, is it worth it?

good choice I see what staggerd means now. The Ebay knockoff ultinons are terrible I seen so many people wayste there money on that stuff and its no where near the color of real ultinons. Do you got a pic of your ultinons. I got Osram Xenarc 4350k they colorshifted now so there more like 5400k they look nice.


Mswoo, Ultinons Dont improve the visiblity levels there lower in lumens they just look cooler. 4300k have 3200 Lumens 6000k have 2800 Lumens. Although there is an awsome fix for this now useing 50watt ballasts you can get 4000 lumens out of your ulitnons or up to 5400 lumens from your 4300k. Checkout www.hidforum.com they have lots of threads on the new 50 watt ballasts.

Great Car, but I haven't been able or bothered to read through the whole thread, but i've noticed on the close up pictures of the wheels that you got no locking wheel nuts? Just though I would mention before some passers by click onto it.

Do people still use those no body is going to jack your car up on the street and steel your wheels unless you park in the worst neighborhood in the country. Anyone with a car over 50,000 doesnt park just anywhere.
