yeah it's lowered, we lowered the airmatics mechanically, we took off the front 2 brackets and 1 rear brackets that is linked to the control arms and the height sensors. we shorten the brackets, reweld, reinstall. this way the computer thinks that this is the stock height.

Looks GREAT but be very careful how you drive. The thin sidewalls on the "new shoes" for your baby, can be easily damaged if you hit pot holes or even speed bumps at too high a speed.

Let us know how you like the new ride.

By the way, we visit Hawaii a lot (mostly Kauai) but don't see many MB's there. Looks like you may be on Oahu or the Big Island.

Aloha!

I like how the door pillars match your wheels.

yeah i know what you mean, before this i used to own a audi a4, did allot of tuning parts to it, also ran 19's and the ride was preety harsh runing coil overs, the mercedes is allot smoother but man, i miss the turbo power.
