had to pull errrthing 
the wheel was hitting quarter panel in the rear, the suspension was just too soft so instead of going stiffer springs we just decided to pull and keep the nice ride
the front was rubbing pretty good.. actually ripped the inner lip on both fenders, so i had to get new ones..
just got it aligned im running about 3.5 degrees of camber in the rear and 3 up front, everything else is in the green so good to go!
goes back to body today, and hopefully i'll get it back right after thanksgiving so i can take it to paint this weekend and then i can assemble the rest of it, and my sarona spoiler came in saturday so i now have everything in hand to assemble
now if i could just find a good deal on facelift mirrors i would be a happy camper

brace yourself lol
so the original fenders were pretty ripped up so i just had my body guy pull them to where it would clear cause i had ordered new fenders anyway, they dont have to come out this far lol but you get the idea... if your gonna pull fenders up front i would think about going aftermarket its much easier to work with steal and oe fenders are made of aluminum which is not as pliable. when the new ones go on and he does them right i'll get you those pics though

i pulled the collars out lol... so all the way down and then some
really? dang.. thats weird, i was going to add some camber but i saw i was already at 3.5 so i figured i wouldn't push it and just go to the body shop and have them fix the fitment...

Oh... holy jeez. The W211's in this thread are freaking awesome! I can't believe how wheels and a lowered stance totally transform these cars.
I can't believe I'm driving the same car I see in these pics!

it's still at the same height, i pulled the rears more this past weekend. I'm thinking about getting kmac camber bolts before i lower it more. goal is to tuck tire on all 4 corners.

well it's not stock height, since the coilovers were lower than my stock suspension right out of the box. but i'm going to try and go 2" lower in the back and 1" lower in the front next thursday/friday.
