4year anniversary for my SLK55, Brabus Spacers for my rear wheels

Hello friends,

Its been a while since I've last created a modifications thread. I recently installed some brabus spacers which were machined to a lesser size so that they can fit my 18" alloys. It took me a long time to get these on because I have ordered some custom wheel bolts from Germany.

Anyways it fits nicely and I havent noticed any bit in steering or ride differences. I can only tell you that the car looks more complete with the lowering I did a long time ago and the spacers rite now.

When I first got the car four years ago, I kept noticing how high it sat and checking the flaws. As of today I think the car is 99% complete and I love it as much or more than I did 4 years ago.

Pictures coming soon

Lowering / Stance,

I was going to go for an aggressive setup but the problem is that the wheel might rub with the wheel arches.

Looks Mohammed! Would be nice to see some more shots from a distance to appreciate the lowering better.

Its hard to show how aggressive it looks in the garage because of the tight space

What i got it to look is that the lowering and the wheels are aligned as close they can go to in having an aggressive stance like oem.

Slightly old pic but shows how low it is prior to the rear spacers.

Did you take the headlights apart yourself and blackened the housing?

Very nice. Took me a second "wait, why does that car look better than the others?".

BTW, your pics are ridiculously huge.
