Just Bought an 07 R63 AMG

Hi guys, i just finally took ownership of my 3rd amg car. i bought an 07 r63 amg black on black with 26k miles at a local dealership. i paid 50k out the door with t+l and was wondering if anyone knows a good shop that can lower the car. i will post pics after i detail it, and after i get new wheels/ de chrome the whole car, tint, powdercoat exhaust etc. we need to spice up this forum a bit, it seems no one posts here!!!

Give us a call, we can either do a STAR lowering, RENNtech ELM, or both

Just an hour and a half south of Newport

sounds great james, i will call to get pricing i have heard renntech is the way to go because its fully adjustable. and the reason i bought one is i needed a wagon/suv, have seen 20 ml63's before in 1 day in newport beach ca, but have NEVER even seen an r63, mainly i wanted something that was rare, even though i kind of like the ml better. but after i get done tuning the thing a bit it will beat any ml anywhere.

Spiggs, Very Nice!

Congratulations! You got the fastest minivan ever made.

I drove a number of them and loved the combo of utility and power. AMG cancelled them right before I could them for my wife, so she is driving the 350.

If you want more power, I am just up the street.

Enjoy!

the list of figures quoted by MBNA, AMG, MB DE all have bee slightly different but lower than 50.

My figure came from a sheet of production numbers for MBUSA so who knows and who really cares. Its the rarest AMG either way.

Spifff, congrats on the rare R63 AMG. Sounds like a great deal. To lower the car I would recommend Brabus in Irvine, let me know if you need a recco

I admire the fact that you bought something unique, compared with flowing with the norm. After you get your mods done it will be the ultimate sleeper! Cheers and happy driving.
