PICS OF 04' E55 LOWERED AND HREd

Hello Fellow AMGers,

Just lowered and shod new wheels on my ride. Handling and grip now at new levels of fun!

HRE - 441Rs - 19s.
Michelin PS2s
Lowering Links
K&N

just add Sunoco 94 and you're all set.

Enjoy,

John

Congrats! Car looks sick.. I really liking those wheels. Now just get rid of the Front Yellow Side Marker Lens for the euro impact strips or get the clear ones.

The E55 does very well on the track with this set-up considering it is a 4000 lb plus sedan!

BTW - I treat the beast to Sunoco 100 every month when she behaves
