**As Promised A Few Pics Of The CLS**

Here are a few pics with the car lowered and the exhaust. The car drives great, and handles very well. Next are 20 inch wheels. That will have to wait until summer time.

Cheers

Wow, looks great!!! I see 55/63 rims, tint, clear corners, and de-badged in the rear. Very clean!

What method did you use use to lower? How much did you drop it?

I actually lowered it through the Star Diag. It took all of 15 minutes. I also got the car aligned. Its not quite as low as other methods (Renntech, etc) but I am happy with it.The results are not as dramatic as with a Renntech module, but for now its fine. Basically it is about a 1/2 inch lower in the front and 3/4 inch lower at the rear. Car drives very similar to stock when suspension setting is softest. When hitting the button twice (hardest setting) you can really feel the difference. Exhaust was done in Miami and was custom fabricated.

very nice, prolly what i would do if i couldnt afford a 55/63. Just changing the rims to those 19s make a world of difference on the cls. very clean!

I think the factory 19s are the best rims for the cls. I havent seen anything really classy unless u go with 841r HREs.

Thanks. I agree with you. I will most likely change the wheels come summertime to the HRE's

Hey Keith, Your car looks really sweet. The lowering really tops it off. I've been thinking about lowering mine, but I'm concerned about voiding the warranty.

Rick,

You wont void the warranty. I actually just took my car to the dealer to show them, and had my first service done. Free of charge ofcourse.
