ELM installed, of course it rained. . .THANK YOU MARCUS!!!!!!!!

Marcus - YOU THE MAN!!!!!!!!!! - I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS THING!!!!!!!

And of course, mad love to my guys at Benz Elite for the install.

and yes, I did wash the car in the rain


Here's what it looked like over the weekend before the ELM.




With a 1.4 inch drop in the front and a .6 inch in the back (I think this will be my "normal" setting.








With a 2.0 inch drop front and back.






For those who think I'm OCD for washing a car in the rain, my OCD only goes so far

Wow congrats! I'm guessing this is the renntech v2 elm?

Also do you mind stating what size your tires are? Specifically in the rear, As I can't get the car to lower more than -1.2 in the rear without touching tire on 285/35/18's.

Yes and no - Marcus sourced the ELM from the company that makes them for Renntech - same module - same remote - no badging

Rears are 295/25/20 - I personally think I could have gotten a 305 on there: It's completely tucked in with a little room to spare - I couldn't believe it




SICK!!!!!!!
Sir, I cannot say enough of how much I appreciate EVERYTHING you've done for me - my sincerest thanks

Amazing looking ride sir. Do you mind sharing your offsets for the wheels? Any rubbing? Did you roll your fenders at all? The car looks perfect!

Thanks Marcus for the answer (and once again the ELM) - seriously - this guy knows more about the platform than I ever will

Amazing looking ride sir. Do you mind sharing your offsets for the wheels? Any rubbing? Did you roll your fenders at all? The car looks perfect!
Thanks - no rubbing and the fenders were'nt rolled - I'll see if I can find out the offsets. . . .

Blazingly tough although I can't help but wonder what 19s would look like.
Thanks!!!!! Yeah - common consensus on the 19's as there seems to be a lot of interest - who know's - maybe gunmetal 19's with DWS's as my winter set up for Christmas
