K-Sport Coilovers installed *Pics*
Had my K-Sport coilovers installed yesterday, i'm so happy now with the new look and stance 
Took some fast pics with my mobile phone. Going to take some better pics with a pro photographer for a car magazine shootout. But for now

Looks good!
Few questions if you don't mind.
1. How much drop was it?
2. Finger gap?
3. What tires are you running for the front and rear and what brand are they?
4. How's the ride compared from before lowering it?

Thanks alot guys!! Glad you like it as much as i do
Ob1kenobi --> Yes, i'll sell you the Eurosprings Just give me a few days to check shipping cost and so.
JamE55 -->
1. I would guess a 50-60mm drop
2. Finger gap? = No finger gap at all
3. Front is Kuhmo 245/35-19 and rear is Michelin PS2 275/30-19. I'm going to change to 235 in the front, looks better on these rims.
4. Right now the stiffness is in it's softest stiffness mode. So the ride comfort is reaaaally great but still handles much better then before!! But i will adjust it to be a bit more stiff. I'll let you know after i've done that and driven it a bit more.
slownrusty --> I have 245 in the front, so there is a little bit of scraping when you make more then a half turn on the steering wheel at low speeds. Not much, but it's there. At the highway and on the road there is ZERO scraping Fastest iv'e driven so far is 200 Km/h (125 Mph) and there where no scraping. Car handles really great even with the adjustment in it's most "sloppy" way. I'll make it more stiff and let you know how it handles after that!
Took a few more pics with my real camera. Enjoy!

Cool bro! i like the set-up looks exelent!! very lowered
I know you are in a good country (streets & heights in my country runs like shat... my car scratch the ground many times).. Drive the car some days & pay attention if you don't scratch the ground some times, take care with the exhaust.. The Euro E55's bends the exhaust pipe (driver side) just after the exhaust manifold when touch the ground in hot (Common Issue in the E55's Euro OEM) Take care with your kleemann manifolds.!

Used to drive E55
Looks Great!! Mine has H & R springs. It appears that coil overs lowers more than just replacing the springs like I did. Can you adjust them or is that the way coil overs look. Do you have any problems with camber?

I adjusted the dampning today to find out that i've been driving it in the softest mode
There are 36 different "clicks" and mine where in Nr 1 = Softest 
I adjusted it to the hardest setting and WOW the car handles like never before. Really amazing that a W210 can handle like this IMHO Comfort is still pretty good, but of course it's not that sooooft Mercedes comfort. But hey, it's not a S-Class either

I like it just the way it is. I'm not a fan of the flat badge, the star helps me know exactly where the front of my car is when I park.
