Did you guys bother to read the thread?? I will be at the total wines as long as my new tires come in by then. Anyone have recommendations as to where I can get the 275/35/18's installed? Nobody wants to do it.

Good luck and please share pics once finishedHey,
I just ordered the lowering links from adjustableairride.com
Im hoping they are as easy to install as you said it was. Im bringing it to a local independent shop for install. Im just wondering how they go about adjusting the new hieght though. Can I adjust it to any hieght I like or is it just one setting. How do these actually work.
Also Im assuming it will need a full alignment after its lowered. I assume the MB dealer should be able to do it easiliy.
Thanks
P.S. I cant wait to post picks when its done

Links out of the box are stock height, I believe every 5mm changes in links lower or raise the car 3/4 to an inch. Front, lengthen to lower. Rears, shorten to lower.
I lenghtened my front links about 8mm and shortened rear link about 5mm. Gave me about 1.5" front and 1" rear drop.
As far as full alignment, it's up to you as most shops/dealers are capable. Let me know how they turn out.

Wow. Just got my E55 back. It was lowered 3/4 of an ich and is finally on the 20s. The 285s fit perfectly in the rear. No rubbing what so ever. Car looks so mean and aggressive now. I should of changed the wheels years ago.
I will post pics as soon as I get a chance.
Thanks again to E43sport for all the help

Ive ordered some links also, quick question - do you adjust the links when you have your suspension in the lowest setting. I assume you do as if you did it when it was in comfort and went down to the lowest setting it might rub?

E55 Estate
Wow! That is a great looking car. I love that diffuser and hope it will fit my new (to me) 06 E55 Estate. I am new to MB, but I'm very impressed so far.
Did you already have your DC meet? I am in Fairfax, just around the corner from you.
