Before and after lowering and Spacers pics
Here are the before and after pics of my car lowered with front 15mm spacers.
The ride feels stock so no harshness or bounciness at all like you get with stiffer and shorter springs. It will need to aligned in about 500 miles after it settles.
I did not go as low as Vic and Ronin as this is my daily and LA city streets really are bad now.
Really want to thank Serge and Benz Works for the great and professional work they did.
Thanks again Vic for the shop recommendation they were great and they will be doing the OE tune once I’m sure I’m done having issues with the car!

Sylvain, it looks so much better. Im glad you and I are on the same page in regards to the ride feel AFTER the drop. It really has not changed. I think the ABC is incredible for this car granted the roads are not all torn up.
I still need to get rear spacers, thinking 12mm this week... clearly 15mm up front is good and still even leaves room for more.

ABC is incredible on this car! Thanks again for all your help!
I wanted 10mm or 12mm spacers for the rear but they didn’t have any available.
My wheel locks don’t work on the wheels with spacers now need to find a set that works.

I dont even have wheel locks on the ED1 LOL... if they want em they can have em.
The beauty of lowering the car is the added negative camber you get by default.
Especially if one drives and TURNS their car
I wonder how much off my alignment really is, there was not hardware removal or adjustment. All the suspension controls remained in tact. Its like the automatic lowering process that the car has but we went just a bit further.

They stole my wheels and I found my car on Snapple crates not too long ago from an office building I have. Cameras caught them and it was in the day time too! Took 3 months for the wheels to be sent here from Germany that’s why I would prefer having wheel locks on all my cars!
The alignment seems just a bit off to me took the car to 120 or so and the car pulled just a bit to the left. Not a big deal but it didn’t do that before lowering it. Nothing a simple alignment won’t fix.

Interesting, mine has the traditional MBZ pull to the right to offset crowing in the road but it feels just a bit more pronounced at higher speeds. I cant really feel much at low cruising speeds around the town.
