So I've been waiting around to see if someone like Griggs or MM develops an SLA front suspension for the S550. Does anyone know if any company out there is working on it? Also wondering on how comparable some high end coilovers (JRZ/Ohlins/etc) on the MacPherson would be to an SLA front end.
That's it for the most part. If you really want to you can also get the little winglets shown here, but you will need the PP link or to tap in your own holes to mount the fins, because the base car doesn't have those threaded holes on that link.
Yeah, I did my own and helped a couple members in my area do theirs. I agree with most posts, it's not hard, but it is time consuming. A lot of the front/top nuts are easier screwed in from above the car rather than from underneath. Getting the right angle with a swivel head wrench is the only...

Yep, I have a lot of the same parts - wing, splitter, roll bar, some of the suspension components. And I'm $55k or more into my car. At this point this price just makes me sad.
295/30/19 Yokohama AD08R on all 4 corners. They're a little on the expensive side, but they have decent tread life for being a pretty sticky tire. Square setup because it gives more neutral handling vs staggered sizes.
