Small update, I have been very busy with the coupe and have very little time to update this thread.

My top hats for my rear rotors finally came in and it is a prefect fit. This is the only way of running W212 345mm rotor on a W/C204. Brembo does not offer a Monoblock rear caliper for a W/C204 either, so this also will have to be done.

Comparison:

With the rear kit installed, I can now measure for the proper wheel/caliper clearance and wheel offsets.

Check out the clearance (test fitting the custom barreled LM's off the StanceLab W212):

I am test fitting a lot of different wheel combinations to get the proper offsets. I will post these spec when I get all my measurements done.

Got around to trying on the S63 wheels with the suspension:

Here's the CF interior, I didn't CF the all the trim. I think it looks better like this:

One awesome thing about the Airrex wireless air management is the remote. It is charged through a USB cable and comes with an A/C to USB adapter, but luckily for us, we have an USB port in our center console. Nice compartment to safety hide and charge the remote.

I must admit, bags are the way to go. I use to only stick with spring/strut and coil overs. But to get the look and performance that I am looking for, bags are the way to go. With the proper setup and management, air suspension is pretty reliable and fun.

Brakes, interior, trunk are all done.

Not many more pictures are available until after SEMA.

Waiting right now for the exterior to be wrapped and it will be loaded on a trailer to SEMA

Sorry guys, no pictures of the car on HREs slammed.

Trunk setup

Airrex offers this option - a complete ready to install kit (you can also purchase everything individually)

Instead of going full custom we decided to use Airrex ready to install kit and put a little StanceLab into it. The kit is very versatile and can be used in many different configurations.
