Maybe Smartune could become a Brabus vendor?
Here's an e-mail link for Brabus US: info@brabus-usa.com

The website is http://www.brabus-usa.com/mainpage.html

As of now, they only offer Mercedes and Maybach products. Perhaps if we initiated an e-mail petition we could get them to increase their product line for us.

schmidt wheels you can get them out of San Francisco from Fog City for 1350.00 delivery in 16" and they are so far the best looking wheels. I sold my factory rims for 650.00 so my net was 700.00. Not bad at all. Just installed a viper alarm with remote control start and it works great.

Brabus

Have you fitted the Brabus shocks and springs yet.

I have actually gone the other way on a couple of customers Brabus cars...that is gone FROM Brabus shocks and springs TO stock passion spec shocks and springs.

They handle so much better now its unbelievable.

WilyB, recheck the left front wheel and tire combo as I think they are mounted on the wrong side of the car. Unless that photo has inverted left-right your left front wheel-tire combo is on the wrong side. Those tires are uni-directional and the left front is not turning in the correct direction.

You are 100% right: this was fixed a few days after the picture was taken.

Thanks!
