Updates- Suspension and electronics

Finally lowered with Bilstien sports and H and R lowering springs.

Followed V9's suit.... Spring pad #1 up front and no pad in the rear.

Rims are w210 sport, 17x8 ET 37 all around.

Tires went with 215's 45 17... probably need to go wider in the rear but i am happy with the current look.

No rubbing issues in the front or the back.

Also after many years hardwired my GPS.

I used this hardwire cable purchased from amazon.

No dangling wires.

Amazon Amazon

$12.60

I tapped into the dome light, the same wire I used to install 2phast's auto dime with direction rear view mirror.

Wired 3 extra cig lighter plug into my lower center console.

Went to radio shack and purchased an extra 3 way.

Tapped into a live wire for one of the window switches.

Feed it into the lower center console by drilling a small hole.

Last electronic upgrade- no wiring needed at all....

Motorola Roadster Bluetooth...

Amazon Amazon

Attaches to your sun visor, works wonderful with the iPhone.

You can use the built in speaker to play iTunes or to hear your voice calls... or you can use an FM mode that will play through your cars speakers.
