Brabus Monoblock VI's on W211 Pic
My latest "update". The wheel/tyre change in conjunction with the lowering has transformd the car. It finally has the road "feel" and handling the equal of my H&R equiped W210 E55.
Sorry the picture isn't the best, but it has been raining this morning.

You'll probably feel the car a bit slower 'cause those wheels are VERY heavy.

Brabus refers to the modifications as Version II. I'm not sure exactly what it entails, but will check for you.
I compared the weights of the wheels with mounted tyres and couldn't pick a real difference

Simply beautiful. I wish I had a spare $5K sitting around. Did you lower the car any more since installing the wheels?
One last question, do you think the way to go for lowering the W211 is changing the brackets or simply the ECU adjustment if we can find a service tech with the knowhow and the desire?

Very, very nice mate

I am sorting out the details now, but they say they will DHL the parts to my Merc Dealer, so it shouldn't take long.

How does the ride differ with the 19's on? Harsher, or not much different? And the steering - sharper, or the same?

The ride is a bit harsher and has more road "feel". The steering is also much sharper than standard, but I think that is more to do with the suspension lowering than the wheel change.
