newbie...low life in a W124

okay. some h&r springs just presented themselves to me and they are a super good deal so i am going pick those up and trim a couple coils off of them for the time being then look into the 300/400e sportline springs as a permanent solution.

ok, now here it is the "how to"...

1. buy h&r springs
2. mount them on the car
3. measure the distance between the coils (yes - the springs must be on the car)
4. after you measure that distance you can calculate how mm/inch will drop the car after cutting one coil, and then it's easy to figure out how much coil you want to cut.
5. cut the springs, you can cut them on the car, or you can take them off and then cut them.
6. enjoy the ride

here it is a picture, how exactly to measure the "distance between coils":

pshh...w124's suck haha, sent you a pm btw, lookin good so far

What wheels/rubber are you running in that pic bud?

How much can you cut off stock springs with stock shocks? when the wheels are off the ground the springs may not be loose. is a safety rule here in holland.

how's that in the US?
