A little more stock than that one, but the same general idea. :)

The extra "Corner-Carving Camber"(tm) came at no cost with the lowering and is a delight at
autocross time. We handily won our first and only autocross outing last year, racing
against a pack of nimble SLKs.

A highly-regarded MB expert in Bellevue, WA handled the completely stock engine rebuild. His name is Frank Schmitt.

The same ones that the brilliant engineers at Mercedes-Benz designed for the car. :)

Long lugs for easy installation.
I should also mention that the car is very well sorted and clean. Especially when freshly waxed, it's a real head-turner
and gets tons of compliments at traffic lights and in parking lots. All fluids and filters are fresh,
including those in the hydraulic self-leveling system. Nothing leaks, not even the sunroof or rear shocks.
No measurable oil consumption between changes. Exhaust blows super-clean at emissions-measuring time.

Should I just stick a ridiculous price on it and wait to see what reasonable offers come my way?

Thanks for the help, guys!
