Question on CLS Sport vs AMG

Just curious on how much lower does the CLS55/63 sit than the CLS550 with the AMG Sport package? Not sure if it is just me, I was driving today behind the CLS55 and it looked more "aggressive" than mine - could not figure out why... could it be the quad pipes? The car sits lower? Or the wider wheels? It just looked "sportier" from the rear.

well i think the rear spoiler on the AMG models makes a difference as well.

Your tire width is the same, but the AMG rides on 19" rubber/wheels

So the ride height for both AMG & 550 are the same? Hmmm... I guess it just me...

The CLS55 you saw could possibly have been lowered. Install an Eisenmann exhaust setup, you'll sound just as mean (if not meaner) and complete that look you want.

the cls55 sits a little lower than the cls500. also it has a more agressive looking front grill in my opinion. the 19" rims and quad pipes also add the agressiveness.
