I dont have wheel locks, car is never parked outside and if a thief wants my wheels he will break the locks. Even with the super good locks, they can just take the whole car LOL.... I never went with wheel locks on any of my cars unless the car came with them on the stock wheels.

Mock is correct... the part is not 100% optimal but I actually got the drop I wanted and the car handles fine for its intended purpose.

You can use the E550 coupe springs H&R offers but I heard they are 8 weeks backorder and dont have an ETA date. Surprisingly the C63 springs are the same as the E63. No one is the world has the H&R in stock but call up Brabus thats where I ended up buying mine.

Yes, indeed the C63 H&R springs fits on W212 E63. I'm currently been using the C63 H&R springs for about 2 months and it rides smoothly and comfortable for a changed suspension. Not bumpy IMO.

Black grills look great- make sure the paint sticks cause it will chip-- unless you find a plastic black version.

My detailer uses Mothers aluminum polish.

Best guess is around 3 to 3.5 inches. I dont have the car with me but can do an official check later if you like. I do have to angle in and out of certain driveways but its not a laborious task like my slammed M6.

Hey bro, I just did an official measurement(s) on the side and the front of the underneath part of the Vorsteiner spoiler: 5 1/8th inches... I was way off. No wonder I have never scraped on high speed freeway runs. I always thought it was lower...
