Your car has the sport package right? I wonder if they come pre rolled from the factory, all the other "sport package" equipped cars come pre rolled. Although i am not sure because the W211 sport package is not an AMG package.

I have 19" wheels and lowered it via airmatic module. I also have the sport package, feels like fender rolled, but I'm not sure if that is standard on non-sport package cars. In any event, I have no problem with rubbing whatsoever. The only noticeable difference, which I anticipated, is the ride is a little harsher especially if I have the suspension adjusted to the stiffest mode. For everyday driving I have the suspension set on the first stiff mode and not the second.

Which school you go to? UCI?

I am surprised the don't finance their cars, but its easy to get a loan from like Chase or peoplefirst.

BTW what kind of rims are you getting for your E class?
