SL55K, The Story
#113
Thank you bro!!
Yup it sure was discussed, i was going to lower it when i had the RS-X rims, but since the car had way too much torque, the wheels would cut the tires from the inside since they were pretty low profiled tires. But now with the HRE P40's, since i use Evosport brakes instead of the AMG's, the placement of the "head" of the rotars is a bit different comparing it to the AMG's which resulted in me getting spacers. at first i ordered 10mm spacers for the rear but 30mm's were sent by mistake. So at the moment if i do lower the car the edge of the tires will hit the body of the car. I am soon going to re-order 10mm spacers from H&R and then lower it. And yes then the car will be lowered. I either get a lowering module from renntech or kleemann, or i just get rid of the ridicilous "airmatic" suspension and get some springs instead, but i cant find any company that can custom make me a suspension kit. What are your thoughts?

My thoughts are that when you ordered the wheels, the offset should have been aggressive enough to suit your tastes without the need for spacers. As to your other question, I guess the lowering module is the easier option. I'm just not that familiar with these cars, but the car will look way better slightly lowered, that's for sure.

Painted the head lights in Black, same finish as on the SLR 722 edition. Hope you guys like it! I'll post some clearer shots of the head lights hopefully soon.
To all those that were concerned with the lowering of the car, finally by next week the car's going to be lowered by a few millimeters.
Carbon Fiber side mirrors and carbon fiber front lip hopefully reach some time next week.
And some random shots I took of the car
