My car, no wheels!

N4PWJ · 10-27-2006

here are some pics of my car as it was getting the new springs put in....

funnily enough i was too excited afterwards to get any photographs so i will get some up when the springs settle in and it's a dry day.

oh and the springs are great, makes a massive difference. they are Eibach and dropped the car 25mm. ride quality is still comfortable, but very little bodyroll which is perfect!!

Congrats on the new springs, Its nice too see SLK's being modified

Ynot · 10-27-2006

Yeah, congrats on making your SLK look even better, eibach's are the way to go if you want OEM ride, now show us some pics of that baby on the ground.

N4PWJ, I have to say that the SLK is one car that even looks good, airborne and without wheels. You think that there might be a spot for one in the next James Bond movie? It would make a nice counterpoint to the submersible Lotus Esprit in "The Spy Who Loved Me"! Dinoman

please excuse the dirt of the car... that is the one dry we have had in over a week and didnt have time to give the car a clean

Look great! I really like the look and style. I assume they're 19"? They will be a challenge to clean, but will be worth it. Great job!

N4PWJ · 10-30-2006

yes they are 19's. had them on a few months, but the car needed lowered with them. they are a nightmare to clean, but as you said totally worth it. thanks for the comment -1-

DansSlk · 10-30-2006

Looks real good mate

alroumi · 10-30-2006

Your car looks larger with the carlssons

Baron7700 · 10-31-2006

good im glad im not the only one who thought that the car actually looked bigger, just because of the particular 19;s.... how much do they weigh?

cyberdrakon · 10-31-2006

looks great!

BADMOON · 11-01-2006

niceeeee... i shall be posting the finish product on my slk...

by the way, are those mud-guards on both front and rear?? did u had them installed or did u do it urself?? niceeeeeee..

Ynot · 11-01-2006

Good job, looks much better lowered.

N4PWJ · 11-01-2006

mud gurds front and rear yes. they are a necesity and i think they look really well on the car with the 'skl' embossed in them. they came fitted but are easily done, just clips that fit into your rear bumper and arch, 10minute job to fit all 4.
thanks for all the nice comments guys

dsb · 11-01-2006

Congrats! Looks great. Good thing you lowered it. Now, watch out for those speed bumps.
