Hi guys I'm JP from Jacksonville FL. If you live around here I drive the sun burst yellow 2001 slk 230 lowered using eibach pro kit on 18 inch mandrus manheim wheels, yes its the same car on their website. I was their guineapig to see if it would fit on the r170. Since then the car has had minor upgrades and I am now trying to correct the rear and front camber by after market parts since tires are not cheap.

I've had my car now for over 6 years. Purchased from a retired military man who kept it in decent shape. I turned into a large project and is almost completed. I have used various posts from here and others to bring this car back to life. She still has more work to be done due to age but mechanically never had any problems with her. This site has been a great tool to fixing all the odds and ends of the car.

Sorry to have such a late post for being an old new member.

Thanks guys for all the warm welcomes!! feels good. Too bad no one is near me in jax to help tackle the dreaded hydraulic ram rebuild id love to get some help on that haha.. The stealership made me replace 1 at a time!!!! I'm on the last one and they want me to do it again !!! What I didn't know was they could have fixed this all at 1 time instead of charging me 1k every time for each hydraulic ram. Sorry needed to vent.. this car is a never ending project.
