Mercedes, Saab, and BMW’s invade Rennen

It’s been quite a busy winter here at Rennen Autohaus and we are more ready to kick off this Spring with some great new projects.  In addition to the normal slew of Porsche’s, Audi’s and Volkswagen this winter we’ve had a few interesting BMW, Mercedes and even the odd Saab job.  A pair of Mercedes S500’s were throwing the dreaded “Air Suspension” fault that almost seems certain to happen regardless of mileage.  While one strut was repairable the second S-Class was completely converted to standard coil-over suspension which was actually reported to both handle and ride better than the stock air system.  This complete conversion kit is good for 1999+ S-classes and costs about the same as ONE single original air strut. 

The winter season has finally wrapped up and ended with a number of exhaust installs, Xenon headlight conversions, Navigation Head-Unit installations, Turbo Up-Grades and more in addition to the usual service and maintenance of some of Johnson County’s most impressive vehicles.  Call or email today for an appointment to get a quote on service or tuning and thanks for stopping by.

American Muscle stops by Rennen

Today we had  a Shelby Cobra GT500 stop by for a few cosmetic needs, as well as a Cold Air Intake and some suspension adjustments so even though we didn’t do anything too crazy I thought I’d share a quick post about it since it’s out of the normal German realm we usually deal with.  The Shelby was riding very, very low and had a squeaky sway-bar bushing.  Also, at the time the Eibach Street suspension was installed the rear trunk trim pieces weren’t properly back together and had fallen down, causing the carpet itself to peel away from the trunk lining and yet another rattle in the mustang.  After some tidying up and a happy fit/finish on the intake the car was back on the road scaring children…  The custom exhaust on this pony is not for the faint of heart.
