Nothing too exciting, but lowered using Star on the weekend. A before and after, along with the settings I used. Lowered about an inch on the front and inch and a half on the back.

I like your colour better. Did you use 10mm spacers on the front? Any on the back? I have 5mm on the front but I think 10 or more would be better. I needed the 5 mm at a minimum to fit over the hub.

Playing around today and put the black E63 wheels on the SL. Not sure if I'll leave it this way, but don't mind the look.
