What I've done lately, latest mods

Floormats modified over here a $50 job compared to $1000 from AMG, btw shows the Designo wood in my car much better than Carbonfiber or aluminum which are more common on an SLK55 AMG.



Passenger side:



before lowering, the major significance is in the rear its much lower as the car was supplied with the 4" highest pad for the spring and now with the brabus lowering plus the 3rd" pad it looks superb, were trying to get a 1mm spacer from brabus from the rear. The car is lowered aroudn 25mm all around if memory serves me correctly

Before lowering:



After:



AMG vs Brabus:



Brabus is the silver looks better honestly!

On the alignment, notice the purplish hue thats the beauty of Designo Mocha Black, the only designo mocha black slk55 over here.



What I truly adore are the brakes, the oem setup is superb very capable and effecient on my modified car, the baby monster a smaller SLR722.



Springs installed,



At night, wow scary look and the stance looks mean.



Look how high it sits before:




Floormats at night,

Wonderful look I love it!

I just want an alacantra headliner with the A-pillar, thicker brabus steering wheel and a cf diffuser then it will be perfect.

Awaiting AMG doorpins, brabus rear spacers and the AMG indoor car cover.



rear 3/4 shot, honestly I am very satisfied and I love modifications as you can tell from my posts.......the car feels more stable now not necessarily stiffer as its unnoticeable because I just jumped back to this car after driving an S-class so its stiffer.

The lowering makes the wheels pop up more,
