Looks great. I'm thinking of switching to Airlift 3P in the next year. The height sensors are universal, so I can just swap the manifold, ecu, and controller.

C63 Calipers. Contact Ivan @ DCT to purchase the custom brackets for the front calipers.

Pretty sure the front caliper is identical. You are going to need a custom bracket or replace the front *spindle*. You have another way?

New trunk setup installed in the spare wheel well. Next step is putting down some Dynamat, then cover with matching carpet. Final step will be to make a false wood floor with Plexiglass inserts and back lighting.

*Brakes are ordered. Will update once I receive the parts. Found very good pricing on everything.*

Here are a couple shots from today. Brakes are finally on! Huge difference in stopping power - these are OEM rotors & calipers w/ SS lines and Porterfield Rs-4 pads. Basically, a full C63 kit.

More in the works...will update soon.

Let me know if you have questions.

Love the look... I just got accuair on my W205 but at low setting it sounds like my structs are bottoming out.. My coil are turn all the way down so im thinking that might be the issue.. Have you experienced anything like this ?

Beautiful car! Unfortunately I can't find any bag kits for the W207 anywhere! Anyone know any other vendors that might carry them?
