Should I drop her

I was thinking of dropping the rear so that the lip sits right on the tire or should I leave it?

What happens when you have 3 people in the back?

I was worried about this, since my rear tires are tucked. The air suspension compensates, and you can have 3 adults in the back, and the height stays the same. When they all get out, the *** end goes WAY up in the air, and then comes back down.

I have never had anyone in the back in nearly two years of ownership, so I am not worried about that.

On a second note, I highly recommend weathertech digital cut matts:

I'll be the outcast and say slam that SH**! My 285's are tucking tire, it's really not that bad as long as you know how to drive the car slammed. I hit up mountain roads at this height setting and it hasn't been an issue

Great thanks homies. I will mount the drag setup and see how that looks before I do anything else. I will leave it for now.

I know what you mean, my car is at same height and I always think of going lower. However, as shardul said it's lower when u are driving. It was a nice surprise to see after finding my car in random YouTube videos lol. What's that sticker say on the rear window?

What are you using to lower it? How negative is your camber?

I live in the burbs and my neighbors hate my loud cars, but you have to represent I have had much louder than what I have now.

I think I am going down an 1/4" in the rear, ever so slightly. I dont think you will notice in the pics but I will post some new ones tonight, if I can squeeze the job in today. The rear window decal says Buckhead Imports Performance, my indi shop that does all my work.

I just noticed you had the AMG grille badge too, did you have to Dremel yours too to make it fit correctly?
