i have never seen a drop like this!!!!!!!!

wow i'm looking at this car wondering how did they get it so low? to me it's a very agressive drop, but i'm curious how they did it. could it possibly be star diagnosis that dropped the air suspenison, and when he starts the car it raises up? i don't think mercedes air suspension would drop that low. exspecially since he has 2 12" subwoofers banging at the trunk. no lie though, i'd definately drive this. but do they have air suspension for our cars? cause this does look like E350 or E500. i'm thinking about doing this. it's perfect for shows. i don't know who it is, but if i did i would have asked him and this thread would have never been. but anyways help me out here guys.

all your help is appreciated.

Brabus will give you a drop that just simply can't be believed -- but it is expensive......

I'd post pics but - blah, blah, blah.

It looks like the suspension collapsed.

When I saw the thread title, I thought it was about the drop in resale values of W211s. It was a real relief to see that it was onlly some European's freakish idea of what looks good with a Mercedes. It's a very dramatic look, all right, just so long as you don't expect to, you know, actually drive it anywhere.

Watch for a new box coming out that will drop a car like that. You use the steering wheel controls to adjust your drop/raise amounts, plus you can program the auto-drop @ speed points (raise or lower).
Testing has gone extremely well.
Will be availble soon.

yea i figured star diagnose wouldn't drop it that low. nobody would drive their car that low, it's just so hard to turn. you would have to do a 12 point turn making a u-turn. i seen pictures of this guys car raised, but can't get a hold of him.and definately there are no air bags for the car yet, beleive me i checked. i would consider doing this to drive daily, but just for show. you only bag the car when it is parked. i mean how many mercedes get bagged and lay frame. Hey runninRS, lemme know when that box comes out, i think i might look into it. i gotta see that Brabus drop kit your talking about ClayJ. come on post pics, you know you want to.

Rolling the fenders and aftermarket airbags will definitely get you that low...

WoW, good looks carLAB! damn i wonder how they ride? i hope they don't ride ****ty. it says they use KYB shocks, which shouldn't be too bad. i'd prefer bilstein. Hopefully someone will come out with a better setup, using better shocks,etc. But for now, time to Bag up my E350.

Oh come on, I am a fan of lowering the W211 but that blue car looks aweful and I am sure that guy spent a lot of $$ to do that.
Its funny how two people can spend $20K, one will look amazing and one will look like crap. I like the looks of the first one though, thats hot, but I'd have to agree that it would be a pretty rough ride.

Using lowering links can slam the car like those pictures. I almost went with this route to get the tuck look but afraid of getting flagged at the dealer for service.
