After, you do not have to lower the car to get the 20s, it looks better and I felt on the highway without the lowering, the car lost some of its air dynamics since it was higher off the ground. When lowered with the 20s it is back to its original height and it looks a lot better and meaner.

Ok, thanks. I really want to see a photo with the 20's before the lowering. I've been debating between 19's and 20's. But I don't believe I can handle all the trouble of lowering my car anymore as my wife uses my car from time to time.
She already has caused me to reprint my front lip a couple times.

I am honestly blind or something. I can barely see a difference in the photos. I've seen the gap you are talking about on my friends cars but they weren't MBZ so they dont have the same stance ours does. It looks like they turned their car into a SUV but it doesnt look so bad in the first picture of yours.

Adam, I am with you it is not much of difference in the pics and overall 1 inch is almost nothing. I did not take very good pics to be able to do a side by side comparison, but I can tell you that in person it is a huge difference in look. The car looks meaner and that wheel gap is gone. The HR springs make the car sit right on top of the tread and that is the look that I wanted. The car also drives like original which is something I did not want to compromise.
Hope that helps
