Brabus Lowering Springs for my SLK55 AMG

Well it rained a couple of days ago and most likely to rain today as well, overcast and cloudy good thing for the slk. What I hate when it rains is that people suddenly drive slower but also worse, they change lanes sometimes without knowing that a car is already in that lane.

Another factor is that when it rains, the rain mixes with particles in the air mostly sand due to dust coming from strong winds, therefore when it rains the car gets dirty.

good news brabus lowering springs going on tomorrow, cant wait nearly 5 weeks since I've ordered them ! I am going to see how it looks going to be lowered, the oem rims give it a sleeper look........I want that Vath CF diffusser..cant wait

Exhibit A

Looks very mean with your new blacked out headlights. Looking forward to the final result.
Moe, what do you think of the other rims that came on the SLK (they look similar to those on the 63 BS)?

I dont like the other rims, the ones I've got are quiet rare. Thank you for the headlights comment. I' will keep it oem looking for now with tasteful exterior modifications, like a cf rear diffusser.

The front end now looks like a baby SLR722 in black.

LOWERING the car tomorrow, cannot wait!!!

The car has been dropped at the dealers, I've ordered AMG logo door pins in silver and a AMG indoor car cover.

Okay just got a call from the tech at the dealers,

I previously wanted a Designo floormats with red leather pipping, unavailable......so they are going to take the floormats to a local store just to have it with red leather pipping for 50 usd, NOT BAD!!!!!...I am over excited. Keep in mind the original floormats with the red leather pipping are around 1,000 dollars for the pair.

Correct,

Performance studio, have a stupid policy..

I wanted alacantra roof, AMG logo gearlever and carpets and what is their response ?

AMG : your slk has to be shipped to affalterbach so we can 100% make sure part is installed correctly.

I can install all of these items by myself at home, doesnt need a genius to figure out how to put them.
