No idea, Serg used to be an MB Tech and now hes all about performance. He really knows how to slam cars via links especially SL's so i just had him do his thing, i told him lowest possible.

Looks good i did mine 1" drop all around , and there is no such thing as really knows how to slam cars via links . anyone can do it once they experience it once . it takes me less than 20 minutes to drop an SL however i want in all 4 corners , it's easier than stealing candy from a 1 year old .

Wow, FreshBENZ, you and DeLorean00 should get together, see if you can find someone with a red 107, and take a group shot. That'd look pretty nice!

hey FreshBenz, first off I would like to say Gorgeous car, video sounds good on the 2nd cat removal, now I have one question, does the car drone at all in anyway now. I want my SL to be louder, but don't want drone or anything. I might also get me some SL55 muffs. Thanx

doesnt drone at all, sounds perfect. sound from the inside didnt get any louder either. i was going to get the SL55 mufflers before i did this but i just went ahead and got this done instead. theres a video posted somewhere here with the SL500 with SL55 mufflers and that sounds really good too.
