First Set of Mods for the newbie!!!
Hi everyone!!! I've just added some mods to my car.... (proud new owner of a new(for me)/used e-class)... I've learned so much about my car from this forum and I wanted to share some pics of my "E" with slight drop and new "Shoes"... Sorry for the pic quality and bad photographer.....
Front Iforged Daytona 19 x 9:
Rear Iforged Daytona 19 x 10(real tight fit, I thought the tires were gonna rub):

Thanks...!!! I'm just waiting for Spring to get the AMG kit. I told myself that I will wait until next year to start modding the car... But a person can get itchy when you see nice goodies in this forum, ebay and all the MB aftermarket sites.... By that being said I will most likely wilel b buying a kit before Christmas.....
I sure hope my wife is not a member of this forum.
I'm going to at least but some cross drilled rotors for them. Maybe I'll get lucky and score some cheap used AMG brakes in the future....

The front:I did the washer method (7 x 1.5 mm) I used a caliper gauge to measure the thickness of the washers and matched them....I cut and drilled out the old stud and added a longer bolt. Also I put locktite on the nut and added another nylon locknut on top of the regular nut... I wanted to make sure sucker isn't going everywhere...
The rear: I used a precision tool called a prybar..
