Thanks, I wish I would have gotten more footage... could have done more. These are mostly pans through stills but it works.

And two videos, these videos didn't come out as I planned, due to I couldn't film and drive the car, so I had to turn it off.

Bensitto,

We have a great opportunity to capitolize on this video, to recruit more AMG owners, thanks to you. I have posted this video in the AMG Private Lounge as well as other locations within MBWorld, both in the C63 and E63 sections. The next time we get together, someone needs to ride with someone and record the video. As it was difficult for me to drive and film.

Lets definitely do a VA meet next.

We used to do Tysons II parking lot back in the day outside of the Macy's, but anything around there will do!

BTW, got my car lowered today through SDS at Benz Elite in Alexandria. They did an excellent job. I'll post pics later today. Oh, and they said to contact them next time there is a meet, they will definitely come!

Leo,

I tell them boys this everytime, Eddie did make it out to one of the meets.
I told you those boys would take care of you. Did you have a big drop?

AMGViper, definitely bring out the 16v, I'll try to get Hamed to bring out his too.

The drop was significant! we got it about 2.25" drop in the rear and 1.5" on the front. We could have gone even further but when people sit in the car it drops a little anyway. Plus it goes even lower when I hit over 65MPH in sport mode. Very happy with the drop. Got too dark last night so I wasn't able to take pics and today it's raining! If we get a break in the rain, I'll pull out the car and take a pic.

I don't know why people always say you can only make minimal ride height adjustments through SDS. I think it's all about how good the tech understands whats going on and how to manipulate the numbers.

Bensitto,

You must get some \photos posted, I'm curious to see the look of the drop. I thought about having them lower my car even more. But I need to see yours first.

Here are the before and after pics of my drop... Don't want to hi-jack this thread so I started a new one on the w221 forum.

I may go a little lower myself, just on the front. (.25" to .5" max)

I have to say that even with Brent's CLS and Danny's custom SL, I absolutely LOVED seeing older Benzes represented

What about weekend of Sept 10th Tysons II parking lot outside of Macy's top level? Or any other location people want to suggest in VA.

11am or noon seems to be a pretty good time.

anyone else?

I'm all for Tysons Corner, but VA Beach is a three hour drive for me.
What say you ?? Another good locatiion might be the National Harbor, my good friend leonarddi wanted to hold and event there, months ago.
This would be a nice place to take pictures. but Tysons is fine too. majority rules ...

I prefer National Harbor too, but Tyson's is ok too. Except VA constructiOn traffic is a nightmare, especially with lanes closed on the way back!!

Gentlemen,

The 24th will work for me, as I will be out of town on the 17th. But don't let that change your decision. It is what it is. Also, I will contact Brian at Euromotorcars to find out if their going to have the C63 Coupe unveiling this month, if so then it will moist likely be scheduled for the 25th. So that might work for us, attending two events bac to back.
