New Wheels and Springs!

I bought my SLK 350 back in February and finally decided to add some wheels and adjust the height. I went with the Brabus springs and 18" AMG Twinspokes (8.5) and (9) paired with Pirelli P-Zero Neros (225/40) and (255/35). I will post pics as soon as possible.

Anybody notice problems with driveways, parking or bumps with the lowered suspension?

If you have the AMG watch the front air dam. Dealer scraped it the last time it was in. They are getting it back when my replacement comes in. I have never hit it but have been close several times.

depends on where you are driving..all that matters is the quality of the streets...anyway what kind of wheels do you have? 18,19 or what? if you have 19 wheels you are going to feel a lot of bumps especially if you have lowered the suspension...enjoy the ride
