Mercedes E55 on all-new HRE P40SC Conical
Thanks to Mark at Chapparone Autobody for sharing these pictures. He decided to replace his 2dr Porsche 996 TT (with HRE's) with a 4dr Mercedes E55 (W211) equipped with all-new HRE P40SC in Brush Tinted.

Nice but I think the 5-spoke 45SC would look better on that car.

Camber seems to be a common way when ride height is a priority

One of the cleanest e55s on the board + the newest and hottest that HRE has to offer. This car is done "winning", it has already won

That's true if the car is a show car, but when the car is a performance oriented DD I just personally think that it's un-ethical ruin handling and tire life (even if they can afford changing out tires periodically), just for the look. Now, i'm not saying the car doesn't look good, it looks great, as a show/event car. Just not for daily use Again, great work and lovely wheels, you guys have some of the best reputation in the game

The car sits even lower now

That being said, the car can be raised with a press of a button. Also, its not a car that is engineered with handling as a priority. The car is lowered, with aftermarket camber adjustment kit in the front and the rear and it is aligned. This E55 will most likely handle better then stock.

It seems like nowadays, camber is not an issue with tire wear.

All you have to do is, take turns harder. You'll start wearing them out evenly
