Lowered my car yesterday using the Lorinser "module" which is the link method. Not sure why Lorinser calls it a module but whos to question a German engineering?!
I added the amg sport package about 6 months ago just been to lazy to take any pix. Other mods are changing the wood to the black, SL 55 exhaust, Alacantra steering wheel/shift knob, AMG door sills. I also have the new style Sl55 third brake light , sirius kit , and phone kit. I am sure after I add the other pieces I'll sell it.

very nice. What wheels are those? HRE? iForged?

Now you just need AMG floor mats. =)

lorinserbenz

Thanks! Wheels are Iforged Daytonas.. Same look as HRE just heck of lot cheaper.

hey nice SL! those wheels look just like mine! haha

lorinserbenz

thanks... your 55 looks hot with the black wheels. I might repaint mine black or polish them, getting kinda bored with them.

elbowyeish

really? i think your rims look perfect on your car. i like that kinda brushed finish on silver cars. it looks so sleak and makes that subtle statement. are you running 19" or 20" on yours?

lorinserbenz

20's 305/25/20's in the rear and 245/30/20's up front.

Very sharp looking car!
Did you replace both the factory mufflers and tips or just the tips? Also, I did notice the SL55 tailights but what is different with the 3rd brake light?
And finally do the wheel rub at all? I have a SL550 w-sport pkg and would be interested in possibly lowering the vehicle.

Thanks in advance

VERY NICE

You have a very nice car for a 16 year old. When I was your age, I was lucky to have my own car. As long as it ran but I do remember it having starting issues which is probably why I had a 4-speed and would parked on hills.

I guess the times have changed.

lorinserbenz

THanks for the compliments...

I replaced just the mufflers, the sound is awesome. I had a 55 for a couple of days and my car sounds much better. Cost on the mufflers is around $900 or so...
I have the new clear 55 third brakelight, just havent had a chance to install it.
No rubbing at all.. The lowering kit is $400 wholesale..

erichen

lorinserbenz, can you go into more details about the muffler job? $900? what exactly did you do? that's a really good price!

mjr24

Agree with erichen. Did the mufflers come with the dual tips....and was that 900 per side or 450 per side equaling 900?

Hi

Why is it that a lot of you guy´s are running more narrow wheels in front, than stock. I have with no problem fitted 275 up front.

lorinserbenz

The mufflers were $900 and the install was $200... plus you need the 55 rear bumper..

erichen

Lorinserbenz, thanks! that's a really good price. what brand mufflers did you get? can you give me some specs? That AMG rear bumper must have not been cheap though. good job!

How much does the bumper cost you?? Thanks in advance.

lorinserbenz

the mufflers were $900 tand they are AMG, same as on the 55.
I bought the front and rear bumpers from a guy locally that had a 55 and put a Lorinser kit on. I paid $1000 for both and the best part is they were already silver!

erichen

Thanks for the info... you got a really good deal on the mufflers and the bumpers... lucky! Congrats, looks great!

i agree. great car. it's all there.

by the way, what's involved with changing the wood color? price and can we do it ourselves or is it better to take it to a place?
