E550 Coupe
new to the e550 coupe club!
Hi guys, just picked up e550 coupe!

I'm looking forward to modifying the car! I came from a fully modded acura tl..and still have it.

Will be asking questions around the forum!




PS does anyone know where to get info on lowering kits?

Very nice upgrades so far. Congrats. Could you give us some details on your 19" wheel upgrades. It might be useful to myself and others as they consider that size and are wondering about clearance problems. What width are your wheels and what offset? Thanks.

Forgot to ask about your tire sizes. Could you tell us what they are along with the wheel details.

Some update..Just bought Futura 6 Piston Brakes/Slotted Rotors to upgrade my stock 2 piston ones.

Futura are quite exclusive =) http://futurabrakes.com/

In other news, I will sell my OEM Slotted Rotors and Big Brakes once I put these set on..anyone interested it?

How do you like the Top Speed Exhaust? I am looking to make some exhaust changes. Is it from the Cat back or just mufflers?

If you see my other thread, I have a video of it. I love it. Gets TON of compliment for the v8 sound. If you are interested let me know. I get a good deal from them.

Here's a pic of my brakes put on! They look so good! Before and AFTER

Hi there,

Nice coupe! Would you mind also PM'ing the details of the rims? I'm looking to get some 19" AMG's also.

Right on, did you end up ordering the skirts from Flintstone?

Those brakes are pretty slick, never seen them before

Yeah, I bought it from him. Deciding to get rear apron now that it looks "incomplete" with the skirts.

Crazy story, I was in Vietnam last month for vacation, decided to fly to Thailand for 1 day to buy it straight from him. Took it with me back on the plane. Airline only charged $100 for oversized package lol.
