I'll skip the wing, thanks. But the tinted tail lights and AMG sills should all be in this weekend....hopefully in time for the car show on Sunday.

Hey Chappy....
OK, shoot me, but I can't tell from the pix if those are the new springs or not...if yes, I vote for the next lower pad. BTW, if they are, did you save the part number for me? Although I now realize your car is a coupe and it probably won't help....perhpas I can obtain the cab srpings from the guy you mentioned? Hope to see you this weekend, PM me and I'll figure out how to recognize you...aa

These photos are of the current/OEM setup. I'm planning on being there this weekend for a few hours at least...
I've got part numbers, but as you said they may be worthless on a cabrio. I'll send along just in case, tho...

Fortunately I am fine with stainless steel, don't need to spend the extra $$ for gold, but if I had to I'll pick the Gold Yachtmaster

Euro-spec springs and new spring pads will finally be going in 11/26. I'll post "after" pics to show the drop for comparison (I know, I know...it's about time)

I love the euro-spec springs. Stock ride quality with a nice subtle drop. I had to play with the spring pads though. At first I had 3-dot all around (based on previous experience lowering a 430) but the front was too low and the rear was way to high. I kept snagging driveways and speedbumps until the front spoiler finally cracked. Now I have 4-dot up front and 1-dot in the rear. Much better balanced with 1 to 1.5 finger gap in the front and 1.5 finger gap in the rear. It's wierd because on my 430 with H&R I had 5/3 F/R and the front was fine but the rear was way too low. Anyway, sorry for the ramble and good luck.
