So I hear you and I are cop lovers :P
I love the chief in my town, "Oh there's a great strip over by the church. You should be able to get to a hundred over there. Let me know if you want the road to be inaccessible for a few moments." -that comment was stated after explaining the purpose of the G-Tech.
I prefer the cop vs. driver relationship though. It makes it more fun, especially when you're being chased
! I always wanted to be the one who is being chased in a chase, although at the same time I don't...THese are some nice cars! I should take more pics of my baby.

They are 18x8 ET34 (I ordered 37 offset but they came w/ 34). You need to roll the front fenders and maybe even the rear. I also have front bumpstops to avoid rubbing.
Tires are new Bridgestone Potenza RE750 225/40/18 all around. I had S0-3's on my 17's mono II's before, but they wear out quick. The 750's are kinda loud tires, but it doesn't matter, I have the 2 15 inch subs bumping the music most of the time anyway
The exhaust is an Arospeed. IT sounds really nice around 2000rpm. Can't really hear it at freeway speed which is good.
I'll upgrade to Remus or something later when I get my bodykit put on.

Brabus,
I still have my factory antenna (on the left rear 1/4 panel). The antenna on the roof is for my XM radio (satellite radio www.xmradio.com). IT's a sony magnetic antenna, same look as an aftermarket GPS one.

E420 W124
Doctor,
I need your advice.
I recently installed a set of Monoblock VI 18X8.5 rims on my E420. Please advise on the steps I need to take to get the best ride quality.
Problems are:
1. Tires rub when I hit a bump on the road
2. There is a considerable amount of noise when I drive it. Feels like it could use an allignment.
Is it necessary that I install new shocks and springs - or can I get by for the time being with an allignment and a possible lip roll?
THANKS A MILLION!

I emailed you back but I forgot a couple things.
From what you're telling me, your car isn't lowered yet. Depending on how old the car is, and the amount of miles on it, you may have worn shocks. Good or bad, the stock setup is soft, and wheel travel is considerable. With a lower, stiffer setup like mine, wheels travel less, and while you think you may have less rubbing problems, you do as much if not more, since the wheels/tires are so much closer to the body.
IF you want to lower the car and get springs, DO GET the shocks at the same time. It'll be much better as far as handling goes, and at the same time, you don't have to pay twice for install the way you get shocks.
As for the noise, it comes from your tires. What tires did you get, and what brand? Brand will make a difference. Models too
For example, I have Bridgestone RE750 and they are louder than my previous Bridgestone S0-3.
Good luck.
