Both vehicles are packed full of taste and class. The first modded Smart car I have seen and it turned out really well. Very nice rides. Well done sir.

Thanks everyone. Funny how there's more love for the smart than the E. I actually like my smart more, too Drive it more than the E nowadays.

I think a good drop and nice rims can make most cars look better My smart sits on KW V2's, but the rear didn't drop low enough for me, so I swapped the rear KW springs with the Swift race springs you see in the pic. The smart has tiny wheel wells, so the rear as is low as I can get it...I'm already hitting the upper plastic fender liner on big freeway dips.

Some pics of my previous rims on the E

1st set: Work VS-XX in 19's (the VS-XX's didn't come in 20's back in the day!)
2nd set: DPE SL-5 in 20's. Old caliper color was Porsche Lapis Blue Metallic

I would love to do a stretch setup on my smart, but I don't want to go widebody. Not into the widebody look. I had to go through 3sets of tires just to get the current setup to fit w/o major rubbing. My front tires are from the UK! Couldn't find tires small enough in the states. 185/35/17's

BTW, I love your ride. It's soooooo clean. The aggressive rims/stretch thread is actually what brought me over to this forum. I'm not really into the poke, but I do love flush setups. You're ride has a mini-poke, which is still so so clean.

And before I got my DPE's, I was *this* close to getting the T1S's that are so popular on this forum. lol
