SLK 350 Pics after wheels and lowering
Threw on the 18" AMG Twinspokes and the Brabus springs finally. Coming next week is the front lip and rear valance. I was expecting a harsher ride with the new springs, but to my surprise the car rides just like how it did stock.

I purchased the Brabus springs from Harris at Harton Motorwerks. He sold the springs including shipping to California from Canada for $400.

Actually I got it installed from the shop I purchased my wheels from. The installation and the wheel alignment came to about $100-150 (including the mounting and balancing of the wheels).

Congrats, that's actually cheap for spring installation.
I'm planning to install it myself, I'll wait and see, if it gets too complicated then I'll let somebody install it.

I think you did a PERFECT job on your car. Not SLAMMED. Beautiful wheels. Excellent! Bravo! Glad that the ride wasn't affected, I wonder what the outcome would be had you selected 19" wheels?

Thanks for the wonderful comments. The wheels w/ the tires (Pirelli P Zero Nero's) were $2500.
I think with 19" wheels the ride may be a little harsher due to the lower profiles of the tires.
I'll post pics with the front and rear valance in a few weeks.
