Looks nice! If I touched the front....
it would only be another 10mm though. Make sure you get it realigned and that you have a camber kit in as well. Which method?

Your car looks great, but yesterday I was following a SL500 on the motorway at about 90mph. It looked real low. Do you realise the car lowers itself up to 30mm above 60 mph. Do get any scrapping noises at speed?

Are you sure its 30 mm? the 2007 SL manual puts the number at 12 mm (0.5")

The lowering module I have is set to slam it every time I come to a complete stop and then raise it a little when in motion. It’s a cool lowering effect to have and people always notice it.

285/30/20 were too streached on my rear wheels so I changed to 295/25/20 which look fuller but they're too low profile. I thought of 305/25/20 but they're not that much taller. I want to try 295/30/20 next but it will be close.

I used 295/25 last time...
without incident (PS2). And although myu car was lowered, I didn't think the rear was quite low enough. No interference whatsoever.

Michelin PS2 295/25/20 are 25.8" tall (which is the stock tire height) and 11.9" wide which works fine with no rubbing issues when lowered, but I find them to be too low profile. Goodyear F1 Asymmertic 295/30/20 are 27" tall and 11.9" wide which I think would be the perfect size, but it might rub when lowered. Has anyone tried 295/30/20 size?
