You should try a HID kit using the Halogen projectors first, the light output/pattern might be good enough.

Before you purchase those, my friend has a line on some panels/rockers he might be able to get for you, of course, he wants your headlights. Be sure to call him back. The panels are already silver, so its possible you won't even need to paint them.

I bought the benzboy camber arms a few months ago when I got new tires. I've been too lazy to install them, namely because the bolts he used aren't in metric... so I will have to bore out the mounting points.

They seem like they're constructed very well, but I would recommend using the speedybenz arms (www.speedybenz.com). I've heard nothing but good things, and apparently they bolt right up. They're more expensive that the benzboy arms though (www.benzboy.com). I wouldn't bother with the Kmac (not katmac) adjustable bushing kit. Although I've heard it's good quality and provides tons of adjustability, I've heard they squeek a lot and come out of alignment easily. They also require a lot more shop time, which means more $$$.

I had the benzboy camber arms about a year ago.
but as soon as I upgraded to bigger and wider tires
they caused the tires to hit the fender.
And when I adjust them to compensate the camber was almost 2.75 degrees LOL.
I'll report back.
I have sinced removed them and am waiting for my Kmac kit to come in.

The shocks won't lower your car at all and appear to be the correct part for a 300e. I can't comment about KYB though, I have always used Bilsteins.

i've heard they ride pretty stiff, but if you're on stock shocks now, it will definitely be an improvement.
