KLEEMANN has a customer for life (as long as I keep buying MB)

Spero knows what my car has been going through...

My LSD had minor issues and Kleemann not only took care of the problem, they went beyond and sold me headers for WAYYYYYYYY less than what they sell for, for they trouble I went through on the LSD (VERY MINOR I might add). Cory is a 1st Class businessman and his organization is certainly top notch and reflects on Cory's actions.

I can't thank Cory enough and after the header install, I'm doing the CAMS...we all know the gain is minor, but I have no reservations about buying any products from them.

Thanks Cory and keep up the good work and keep the mods coming!

BTW, the LSD should be the first mod anyone gets for our BEAST before any power mods in my opinion.

I agree Kleemens is a great company with great products. Let us know how the CAMS work out. I am curious if you can really feel the difference. It would be great if you can get a before and after Dyno, K2 vs. K3.

One HUGE problem is that your tire expense goes up dramatically. Ha ha.

I'm not sure if you've considered the lowering module however handling is dramatically improved with this little gizmo. As you know, there are very few suspension tweaks for the E55 and this is one that will give you better turn in (especially with wider than stock tires), introduce negative camber that really allows the car to hook up while cornering. If you've tracked your car before you know how the front likes to push. The lowering module reduces this to a near perfect negative camber for this car that really plants the tires on the tarmac. I have measured heat in all the tires after hot laps and the tires (18" stock wheels with PS2) had very even heat distribution. If you know what I'm talking about then you know that this lowering module just happens to put the tires just where they should be--luck? who knows. My track times went down big time and tire wear on the outside of the fronts (where your tires would roll) was all but eliminated. When you run stock wheels and normal width tires your turn in will require less effort and you start feeling like your driving an M3--no ****. It's a great product.

Best of all, you can return it to stock height in less than 5 minutes with a rachet and a 10mm socket (I think it's 10).

There is a non performace benefit as well---it looks kick ***.

I can get 19" 9.5" wide wheels under the rears when lowered and they have never, ever rubbed. Something to think about.

Eric,

Did that and the car does look kick *** with the larger 19's in the back. Went by the dealership and everyone came out and was looking because how aggressive it makes the car.

I had the lowering module but sent it back. I have a CL55 with ABC so handling is numb anyway. I wanted this car to look as stock as possible so I didnt lower it. My wife will get the CL55 when I'm done with it, this way car will look and feel stock (except for power of course).

So how do feel the difference with LSD...when you launch the car with ESP or without???...You acceleration times better...

You see I now thinkg either start with K1 kit 520 HP or MKB 540 Hp or just LSD + Wetteraur 530 HP chip...Everybody says different better go for power and some say E55 need more traction...
