No, posted here 4/5 days b4 I posted on fanatics, these are new photos, the ones on fanatics is with the top up (cause it was still cold) and the rear wasn't dropped. The weather was 75 degrees today, so I took it out for a spin with the top down. I might post these photos there in a few days or maybe not.

The rear tucks in but still rubs a little, the front sticks out a bit so it will rub if you hit a big bump, I'm going to see what DCR can do. will keep you posted.

Good to know. I just lowered my 280 with Brabus springs as well. Hopefully I won't run into serious rubbing problem after I install my 19" DPE later in Spring time.

You will definately be safe with 9.5", 10"s sticks out a bit, but nobody really noticed except the owner, especially if you lower it. Order your DPE's aleady? If not I suggest you do if you want it in the spring time which is around the corner.

Ordered, and the rims should be here in mid March

btw, DPE doesn't make 9.5", so I have to get 10"
