        Kelleners Sport Suspension Installed!! (pics and story from the trip)

        Hi guy's, i got back yesterday around 10 pm so had no time to write up the story. But i have just uploaded the pics from the trip and here it goes.

        On thursday 21.03 i left my home town Sosnowiec and headed to Germany. The roads in Poland have really improved, we have a few autobahns but the speed is restricted to 130 km/h
        Me and my wife arrived at Kelleners at 7 pm but it was all closed up. We found a pretty nice hotel at Duisburg which is about 15 klm from dinslanken


        The hotel was ok but the food was really BAD
        .
        After we spend a couple of hours in the restaurant (had a few beers) we decided to turn inn early ( 11 pm) . (no details off what happened after 11 pm.

        We got up earlly about 7 am and heded to Dinslanken. Dirk was waiting for us and once again proved that he is a profesionall in organising EVERYTHING. There was a 320 d waiting for us
        the car was pretty nice but had no NAV. Dirk has reserverd a nice hotel for us in Dusseldorf "hotel Orangerie" very nice place (very hard to find), so we head to move from Duisburg to Dusseldorf the new hotel is behind me.

        We went shoping and visited a lot of German restaurants and pubs,they have good beer ! We went to a BMW dealer and found this it's a 2000 M5 with crome line around the windows i have had no idea there were M5s with the crome. Came up to this on town, it's a real Carlson "S", and on the way to Koln but i was beating it with a 320 d heheh . Saturday morning around 10 am we picked up my car. it does'nt look vely low, but the suspension feels great. They also instelled the Kelleners stabilizes and Michelin Pilot Sport tires. We headed for the autobahn, here is a pic of my avrage speed and i at one time had 281 km/h but the camera was on the back seat and the wife was sleeping!
        Then we stoped for some fast food and came next to a pretty not too well maintained M5 (easyl said) can you see that my M is a little lower (20mm) !! his wheels ware not cleaned for about a year !
        But anyways this corvett tried to stay on my *** but he could do that only till about 240 km/h, after that i was leaving him fast behind.

        Now it's time to give the Beast a bath, its very dirty because it was raining mostly all the time, the suspension makes me feel the road more and it's more spring- ing, i dont know how to put this in words. On Polish bad roads it's not too hard and i'm really happy with it
        More info after a few days of driving on local roads.

        Nice pics & story there Robert. How many miles was that trip in total? Too bad you didn't meet any SL or Carlssons when you had the M5 back in your hands

        Regards,
        Taffy

        Robert:

        Great story, Germany looks so beautiful. I really need to go over there some time. After hearing all these awful stoires concerning tuners, it sounds like Kelleners is the real deal. They are always professional and they seem to make products that work. Glad to see that you are happy with the results of the suspension. Happy hunting on those poor Vettes and MBs . Too bad the M5 was not available for a little meeting with that SL.

        Hi Robert,

        Real nice story......and some awsome pictures. As the others have pointed out it was a shame that you didīnt drive the M5, when you came across the Mercs

        The susp. looks really good.

        Did you talk to the other M5 owner? Is it true that he hadīnt cleaned the wheels for a year ? What a shame...

        Again a really good write up of your trip.

        Thanks for sharing.

        Best regards,

        Mike-S.

        Very nice story Robert! Thanks for the great accompanying pictures too!

        How does your new suspension make your car feel around the twisties compared to stock? That's what we're all curious about!
