Scroll down towards the bottom of our Merc page and you can see mine....

It really gives it a great stance, and improves the handling.

Hey Danny, yep heres mine. We accidentally lowered it too much:


But we raised it up a little bit, I just had to take this pic cuz it looked soo cool lol. I would HIGHLY recommend the lowering links from adjustableairride.com $299 vs the Renntech kit for ~$1500, theres no comparison and you can adjust the ride hight. Our cars look very nice lowered, just watchout for those speed bumps and parking lot ramps and keep your right hand ready to double-tap the raise car button
