FlatlineEF9's W210 Rebuild thread
So after selling my w211 E55 back in 2011 I decided my 210 needed some more TLC as well as a fresh update. Have a lot of plans for her, will update you guys as parts come in...and go on.
Current mods
Brabus Lip kit
w211 E55 18inch wheels
Michelin Pilot Super sport tires
#1 Pads
Blacked out grille
LED tails
20% Tint
15" Rockford power sub
2000W ample amp
Body color corner lights
Cats Deleted
Brembo Brake discs
Stoptech Pads
Heres some pics from my old setup back in 07 20 inch monarch wheels, eibach springs with one coil cut in front
Put the monarchs on my E55 and traded them for CLS wheels, command, AMG pedals, navi, and IPOD connection.
Super slammed on OEM E55 wheels. Rode like ****....put stock springs back in shortly after these pics

Now for the new goodies
Oem HIDs. 8k bulbs and city light LEDs. Easy swap...no error lights...no recoding necessary. Just plug and play. Only issue is it doesnt have the self-leveling feature. Easy to aim and makes a nice straight beam on the road...no longer blinding people with HID bulbs in halogen housings.
I love the OEM HID housings....something about the Depos didnt sit right with me...
Small brabus lip badges. Going to put one on my lip after repaint and probably one on my ashtray cover
Teaser pic....Dont wanna show this yet till its on the car
More pics to come soon. More brabus stuff in the mail.

Sooooo cooollll i like the brabus stuff's hahahha your car looks so beauty. i like so much the brabus VI on this cars (silver/polish lip) black coated looks horrible IMO, but the 211 wheels looks sleeper and nice too! congrats man you have a beautyful car. You need some spacers with the w211 wheels?

Thanks you guys. The 211 wheels didnt require spacers, and the OEM tire size worked fine too.
Funny you should mention the brabus monoblock VI......

I got the full brabus kit (front lip, sideskirts, and rear lip (with exhaust cutout)) used from a guy in socal back in 06 lol. They can be purchased through brabus usa...If you just want the front lip, i believe its around 1k.
The main reason it rode like crap was how slammed i was. it was 2.5 in the rear and 3.5 in the front. With the E55 wheels it was better than the 20s because more tire sidewall, but i still prefer more comfort than that...its a benz, not a BMW. Miss the look of it though. If you get coilovers be sure to get some REAL good shocks...like Koni yellow adjustables... dont run stock shocks when slammed...itll feel like a yacht.

Someone is selling the sideskirts on ebay. heres a link. If you can get it at a reasonable price, even with the high shipping...it will be less than the brabus asking price.
