This looks so good! They are 18"s right? did you lower at all/ use any spacers?

I cannot decide between splurging on the Monoblock Aero IIs or going with the ones you have.
Thank you very much! They are monoblocks from a W220. I would like to try out spacers, I think it would look good. I will let you know if I find any.

The car is lowered, by a previous owner. It has Bilstein shocks all round and H&R springs. I'm not 100% sure of all the part numbers though. The SLS in the rear was removed.

Here are the parts I bought, and pricing (in CAD$). I got a further 10% discount with the MBCA membership.

The body shop installed it for me when I got the car painted. If it's anything like the W140 sedan, W126 or W220, I think they are pretty easy to install (I have done these before)

1x Radiator Grille: A 140 880 01 85 - $1,233.85

6x Clip/lock: A 140 994 18 45 - $3.58 each

6x Screw: N 914031 005208 -$5.28 each

Thanks for the response! how does it ride now? Did you change the spring pads at all? Also, why did you remove the SLS? I hear that you can still lower while keeping it.

All the work was done by a previous owner, I am not sure about the spring pads or why the SLS was removed. I would have personally preferred it to all be stock but there are not many of these around up here in Canada so I grabbed one when I had the chance. It sits very nice from a visual perspective.
It rides harder than I would like, but it's not bad though.

I like the wheels and the look of the car, obviously and I keep wondering with it being that low does it keep the engine temp down while it's "crawling through the snow" LOL. But like I said, I like it!
Suspension is aired-out for the pic I don’t drive it that low lol. Engine temp doesn’t go over 80 in the winter only when it’s really hot out it might go bit over the 80 mark
