Before and After (pic heavy) - E63 conversion/Vossen
 
Hey Guys,

Back in January I bought a Suvneer kit with the intention of installing right away and making some changes. All along I wanted to make a before and after thread, well 6 months later here it is. I completed a Suvneer e63 conversion and added a few other things to switch up the setup:

Before:
19” DPE St-7’s flat face/gloss stepped lip (275/40/19)
Carlsson Front lip
Lowering links

Before pics:

After:
Suvneer E63/ Suvneer CF front lip/ vinyl wrapped foglight rings
OEM lower mesh
20” Vossen CV3 (295/25/20)
Lowering Links

After pics: (excuse dirty wheels these things are impossible to keep clean this is on 50 miles of driving)

Not yet, 3 of 4 were cracked around the perimeter of outer lip, very suspect almost defective type damage. anyway rebuilding/refinishing, may sell at that point. I'm in the south bay so a local deal would work better. I'll let you know.

Vossen > DPE

The wheels are a huge improvement and the whole car has a very clean look. Good job!

Sean_S 06-26-2012 09:15 AM

Looks amazing!

Benz-O-Rama 06-26-2012 09:59 AM

First of all, LOOKS GREAT!

Secondly, pop in some Akebono brake pads, and your dirty wheels will thank you. For people that care about clean wheels, this is really a no brainer. Plus, the pads are super duper easy to change on these cars.

Looks grest just sitting a little to high

Thanks for the feedback guys! Yeah I've definitely thought about going lower. I may just have to.

Thanks for the tip, just placed my order on Amazon!

2008AMG63 06-26-2012 01:27 PM

No rubbing?

Shoot.. I think the ride height is spot on! The fender well gap is gone, but lower than that you start looking like it belongs to a 16 year old :)
