I do agree but then its a lot easier than they make out to do your self with some tools and good flat level surface. It does take a few hours and a bit harder but unless they are using the hunter elite machines with string can do a better job than most shops. What started me down the rabbit hole was once you modify the car enough shops don't want to touch the car. Not to mention them arguing with you on how you want your alignment set. I like to do track weekends and set the car up for that. Point is you would be surprised with a little patience its not that bad, the point of time and ease the dealer isn't a bad option either. :)

Actually doesn't take a 10000 machine some caster camber plates, flat level concrete pad, two equal length rods to hang strings from and don't forget some time. This is how a lot of race teams do it when they get fancy they have mounts that bolt on front and rear to make setup go quicker. Some old guy back in the day told me how they use to do it then as stubborn as I am figured it out. Years later working at a high end race shop there I was corner balancing race cars and using my old string method which had evolved ;). Look up the tolerance or these alignment racks you would be shocked how loose they are, the only one I know that's super tight is a hunter elite machine. A person with a sting can do a lot better job than most machines I'm sure as time goes on will change but in reality for daily driven car its good enough as is.

I’m a woman, been working on cars for 25 years. Not sure I’ll ever get used to “Ohhh YOU work in cars?! Good for you”. 😖 It’s so annoying. At 17, after finishing a few project cars, needed a job and since Togo’s payed $5.50/hr I went to work instead at Oil Changers for $12/hr. It was ROUGH... pay was good but customers refused to have a girl change their oil and coworkers just kept challenging me. Went to work at America’s Tire Company as a tire tech, same thing. Now I work at Apple. Pay is good but still an uphill climb. Last week someone explained how a USB works. LOL I’m a tech manager. Basically I’m saying that it sucks when most people assume you’re not smart then when they find out you’re OK, they’re surprised and I’m supposed to be happy 🤦🏻‍♀️ I just need to pay bills and taxes just like everyone else and work on my cars. I know this comment is going to get someone upset but if you had a fun hobby/job you loved and everyone assumed you weren’t smart/capable then yeah. Next car meetup you go to, say to another man “Oh youYOU work in your own car? Good for you!” LOL see how that goes. Tokenism is rough.

Have to agree with you. The whole bold font "SHE FIXED IT!", while meant in a good way, was irritating. Shouldn't matter how the tech's plumbing is arranged. Ideally, it wouldn't even be mentioned. In engineering school, a thousand years ago, there was a group that provided "extra support" to people in non-traditional programs relative to their gender. Apparently, that applied to women studying engineering much the same as it applied to men studying nursing. They used phrases like "women engineers". Young lady next to me in that class rolled her eyes and said something like, "I'm not here to be a woman engineer. I'm here to be an engineer." That's always stuck with me. Sorry for the ramble...your comments just reminded me of it.

Those of us with the cars have a rediculous tire wear on the 1-2" inner shoulder of the tire. It will wear down to the belts if you let it, while the rest of the tire have tread. Maybe 6-10k miles, not much more. So it gets annoying replacing tires. Personally i'd prefer to lose some at the limit cornering for better tire wear.

My GPA was 3.53 when I left. But my entire life I had been told by my boomer teachers and family members that college was the best thing for me. I wish I had known trade schools existed.

If you used your stock Mercedes lugs on the Rohanas i would double check to make sure that the lugs are have a conical seat and not a ball seat since that can warp/ damage the lugseat on the wheels and it could cause the wheel to fall off as well, especially on a vehicle like this which will be driven hard. I know mercedes have both types of lugs on their cars so i figured id give you a heads up. The other thing would be to make sure you can get 7 full turns on the lugs from the E55 as the length of lugs sometimes changes when you move to a larger wheel.

The paint just doesn’t match. Too bad they didn’t blend the paint. Otherwise this car has come a long way.

Looking great. My E320 CDI is lowered with E350 17 inch wheels. I now have continuous toe alignment issues by my local garage alignment professionals. I need to go to my local dealer! Great videos

- Camber doesn’t overly effect tire wear soo much. Toe being dead on is absolutely crucial. From my M5 C63 Golf R i have run greater than -2 degrees of camber front and rear with amazing tire longevity. -1.75 : -2.75 camber front/rear is usually fine. Make sure left and right spec is equal for drive ability. Beautiful C63!

That front left tire wear was primarily from toe. Negative camber by itself doesn’t really wear tires all that bad. But negative camber with toe out will kill the inside edge of a tire really fast.

The car looks good, although I am not a fan of aftermarket wheels. Stock is the way to go for me. To weigh the wheels properly for a comparison, you need to do it sans tires. The lugs should be the same color as the wheel, IMO.

Why would you weigh without tyres? It's the weight of the combo that matters.

I think the stock wheels with Continental tires are the best. Michelin is what I would choose if I couldn't get Continentals.

The thing with Firestone is get lifetime alignment. It does cost a little bit more then a single time alignment. It pays for itself by the 3rd aligning. As long as you own the car you don’t have to pay for alignment again. Good point about certain things the dealer is able to do better for alignment like the specific clamps and the repair kits.

I think you definitely need new headlights, they can totally change the front end of your car. I have the same problem with my C00, my lights are still clear but they have a slight brown tint to them.

The new wheels look great as is. No lug nut change necessary. I hope they hold up with all your midwestern potholes.

Firestone will do a lifetime alignment for $200. As long as you own the car they’ll align it at any firestone at no extra cost. Balancing is inlcuded too, I think, but that might be included with the cost of mounting the tires.
