A very well done combination of Mercedes Benz and VW always works with us, so when a good friend of ours, Ryan Norris hit us up about his new setup we couldn’t wait to share it with you. We’re pretty sure that we’re not alone here, but there is just something about seeing a front lip (or any body part) kiss the ground. Let us guess, you’re probably thinking that this is just another one of those “bagged” cars that only parks hard but doesn’t actually “roll hard”? If that’s the case than you’ll be surprised to hear that when driving, the car sits only about 1/4 to half an inch higher than it does in these pictures. Just like I personally told Ryan, we definitely need more guys like himself. Roll hard, park harder!

If you’re wondering what kind of air suspension Ryan is running, it’s Air Ride Tech E3 management that includes 3 gallon tank mounted on top of the trunk roof, Thomas compressor, RidePro valve manifold, and the E3 computer with digital controls and gauges. He is running Aero Sport front bags and Air House 2’s in the rear with a 1/4 inch line on all four corners. The result of all this is pure perfection to us, but apparently he has plans on getting some newer/better bags up front.
He also recently upgraded to these Mercedes wheels which are 18×9 with a +17 front and +18 rear offset, wrapped in Khumo 215/35/18 set of tires all around. The only thing that was added to the exterior so far are the GLI front and rear lips and 20th side skirts, but we will see just how long that lasts. Ryan is relatively a simple kind of guy so the only interior mods are the addition of a wood floor in the trunk and the plaid interior. Future short term plans include a new set of seats and some other small stuff.
We’d like to thank Ryan for allowing us to “unveil” his new look right here on StanceNation as well as taking these photos for us. As you can see, not only does he have a clean ride but the guy knows his photography too. We’ll leave you with a “behind the scenes” picture that he included. As always, we would like to thank our fans for all their support! Hit us up if you have a ride worthy of our site by clicking the contact us button on top right of the site.
