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!
