got a little bored today... few pix =)
i know i need to bring the back down some more. thats nothing spring pads wont fix in the next few days. i just wanted to see how much room i had to work with before i started playing with the suspension more. but thats covered. the fitment came out great and im happy with the outcome.
up next, air suspension.
this is my daily and i went the exe route on this. wide body mods/wheel fitments arnt really my thing.
these have a nice poke to them put not too much. very conservative.
stay tuned for more. =)

WOW, that's absolutely beautiful. It's great to finally see the car with the wheels on! The polished lip on those wheels is awesome! Nice job parking in front of a fire hydrant for the pictures!

Hey Ryan, what are the exact specs on those wheels/tires. I love the fit and stance!
Good to see you around here again. Did you decide to keep the car or are you still selling it?

looks great.
What springs / spring pads are you running right now?
I need to bring the rear of my car up a little but I have 3 bump rear pads already. may have to replace my springs with slightly taller ones. I could bring my front lower on my car but have 2 bump pads, and would rather have a little gap and clearance. I barely clear parking blocks.. well most of them anyway right now as it is.
Keep up the good work, the car is looking hot.

Looking good man I'll have my car looking good like that after the snow season, wish the streets here were in good condition, but weather has a more powerful effect than people think.

W124's
Looks good Ryan, now I know how my Work wheels are going to look like when I get them in a couple months. Or Kinesis? 
So I take it you're officially going to keep the wheels?
the fitment of the wheels are really good. The stance is like my hammers but how do you plan on slamming it in the rear since the wheels are REALLY flushed?
I was at the Vogtland booth earlier and I was talking to one of the guys. He told me to contact him for some W124 springs. I think he's going to hook it up with Lorinser springs, LOL and he said they are pretty good.

I think I'm going to get some sportline springs or eibachs and take out the neuspeeds. the neuspeeds are the H&R's but rebranded with neuspeed on them. I like them, but my rear is low. I wish I could find a 4 bump or 5 bump rear pad. I need that clearance unless I want to flare out my fenders. rolling helped, but not much.
Hey Chris, on a side note. what is the diameter of our center cap opening on our wheels. I may have come up with something that will work, I just havent measured. I thought our were around 2 1/4"?...
