- LoMo M1 Lowering Module
- K-Mac Front Camber and Caster Bushings
- Euroteck Carbon Front Lip

Wow - I love what you did with the interior. This is my interior color as well. What's involved in getting that "make-over" done? I also like the carbon diffuser. I'm getting a carbon trunk lip should be here tomorrow or Thursday.
The car looks almost exactly like mine - mine's SL600 though. From the performance situation I thought SL65AMG had a 6.0 motor with twin turbos. How does the performance differ between the two. Especially in the tune vs stock results.
Thanks!!

Vendors usually guard this "secret" as if their lifes depend on it. Judging from the pictures, it looks like front is mid to high 20s and rear low to mid 30s. In order for wheels & tires to work, most likely front et25, rear et31.
