After ordering lowering links from them, I ran into a problem during the install. the rear end pretty much bottomed out and completely sunk to the ground! needless to say this scared the S*** out of me!! My first thought was o great I effed up my car messing with the airmatic knowing how fragile they are to begin with. I started thinking about how much it would cost to fix as well.

Before I did anything though I shot John an email. This guy truly stands behinds his product! within 10minutes I received an email back giving me some trouble shooting advice. He didn't make BS excuses or blame me for installing something wrong, he worked with me and the problem was remedied. Turns out the swing arm on the sensor was not pointing up and that caused it to fault. I can't thank John enough for getting back to me so quickly as I was freaking out haha. Anyways I just wanted to let everyone know about the this great product and EVEN better customer Service!!


here are the pics of my drop

Slammed!!!

That is the definition of slammed. The only thing is you are going to have to watch for bumps and whatnot on the road constantly when you are lowered, but that is the price you pay right?

Very nice! Looks really good and I am happy to hear that the product was backed by such good service.

TopEndS62

slownrusty

Wow...that is low...looks impractical to drive?

Tell me more about your Carina..I am an old Toyota guy and love all the old '70s Toyotas (especially the pre '75 RA Celica and the AE86 - of course!).

It need new wheel.

ShyGuy

what does the raised height look like?

JamE55

tbone

bmontalban

looks good, but i would drop the back 1/2". then you will be offically DUMPED.

Sitting on the ground. I bet with 20's you would not see any tire at all

AMG_RL

true that man. 101s is a killer i try to avoid it as much as possible lol

Me too I've had a few encounter's with shady vendors before, it was refreshing to have a change of pace.

no rubbing issues so far honestly the only problem so far is that the ride is a bit harsh compared to before.

Ooooooo man where do I begin with that car!! it's been under construction for the last 4 years. I found it in horrible shape awhile back and couldn't stand to see it go. I think there is only 1 more person in the bay area that has one besides me. long story short I did a semi-restore, now its going to be my drag project. fully built 3tc/efi conversion/t70 turbo/ford 8.8 rear in a 2100lb car the biggest hurdle I see now is the tuning as I will be tuning the car myself and it's my first time tuning but the goal for my TA12 is 550rwhp and mid 9's. maybe ill start a build thread here hahaa

hahahahhaha LMAO

thanks!

yea I didn't bother adjusting it after I fixed the swing arm issue, Im gonna drop the back today

AMG_RL

hahaha I promised myself no more spending on the benz till my Toyota build is finished. but yes I definitely need a set of new wheels.

Peter_02AMG

That's what I said about my E63. Once you're infected by the mod disease there no cure for this sickness, it just a matter of time.

mekantor

woah, its so low that I'm not sure you fixed anything

get an alignment asap

AWOL

get the rear down son

John V.

That is slammed!!! Send me some pics to add to the site & thank you for the compliment!!! I really do strive to take care of my customers. My phone is always on and beside me.

ShangoAshe

haha John is definitely one stand-up guy!

I'm sure most MB-World members can say that!

Props to you John for making an amazing product!

I"m so glad you're local

allenjdmb

There isn't going to be any aligning that car. No need to worry tho, as it's going to go through tires so fast, you might as well save the money for them....

AMG_RL

Tell me about it Man!! my other car only cost me $1000 to buy...so far ive spent about $14,500 on parts alone!

Ill send you some high resolution pics to your email John


you are quite mistaken sir. Ive owned multiple cars that have been even lower than this. Alignment shows only -0.6 in front and -0.7 in the rear camber. that equates to barely noticable if any camber wear that will show on the tires Just got to know what you're doing when slamming a car THE RIGHT WAY!

SGTzAMG

damnn slammed benzes

TopEndS62

so you adjusted the front and rear camber? HOW?

AMG_RL

camber was not adjusted from what my buddy said. he got the car on the alignment rack and and gave me the printout for camber/toe/caster. that was the results after the drop.

BTW the Lifetime labor warranty made me LMAO!
