My daily W219 Mercedes CLS55

Sold my first gen gs300 but I've had this as my daily since the beginning of the year. Wanted something a little faster and comfy for the daily. Wasnt stock for long. Started by lowering it on links, which still isnt low enough, a couple exterior goodies and some temp wheels. It's been a slow process because I've been neglecting my weekend car. Still planning on lowering it more and added some go fast goodies. Anyways here are a couple pictures. Stock and where it is now.

Are these airmatic or hydraulic. You can get life time guarantee on replacement air-mattic struts now. Lowering links usually do the trick.

nice car, I love this gen with the body line that flows from the front fender to the rear and makes sense. The new ones looks like they put that Z line from the door to fenders just because.

Thanks bud, yeh too many low ball offers. The car just sat the entire time. I will be doing some more to it but clean and simple. aggressive drop and new wheels are probably in the works.
