I don't think I can go with a bigger offset, I'm maxed out. I owe you a phone call. How the exhaust doing? Work has been busy, today.

**** TWS. AFter I spent thousands and thousands, they wouldnt even tell me what freaking parts to get so they could install it and supposedly custom fit it. So sad. 4 years, some 5 different Mercedes, you'd think I'd be on their good side.

Thanks Alex, I will try but it sounds like they might not share information. I could always save my money.

Seriously, I said ok cool, tomorrow I'll get the W211 brakes. Then they go and say "Well it may be the SL55 rotors you need" so I ask "Well, which is it then so I dont end up w/ the wrong stuff?" "Oh, we can't tell you, otherwise everyone's gonna do it"

wtf.

BUT I forgot, someone did it on their W124 (Ramil) and he gave me the part numbers as follow:

FRONT ROTORS :
.28
A203 421 09 12

REAR ROTORS :
.24
A220 423 09 12


and according to him, the calipers don't matter where they originate from (w211 or otherwise).

Now keep it mind it was for a W124 application and not W210. Looking at the part number, it looks like it calls for C class fronts and S class rears..... sigh. weird.

Wow, that is some very good info. I wonder if it is worth all that work to do the swap.
Why don't you just sell me your Brembo's, that way I don't have to do so much homework to make SL 55 brakes fit my car.

Damn boy! where have you been? Did you get 500whp yet? I also need the fuel pump #, the one you gave me was no good. I'm still ready for lunch. I'm going to miss those B wheels, they got me through some hard times.

As of last Thursday - 556/512, just added a restrictor plate to ramp boost. Did you install the Aquamist yet?? How's it working for you? HPS Gen I + Alky = 500 PSI. LOL I'm planning on the alky kit when Andy & his crew get back from the PRI event in Orlando. Dude, I still have the extra MB pillar if you want it for the custom pod & gauge! The fuel pump PN is what Adam gave me, I believe the PN has been updated....there is a shop that sells it in North Hollywood, I can't think of the name this instant (Top....something????). Man, I've been swamp with work and due to the upcoming holiday relatives from oversea are piling up.

I'm leaving for HIN/VIP show if a few, are you going?? You should, import models with be dissapointed! Call me on the cell if you do.
