new guy with a stock w210

[siopaolover]

I think that you can make it work. mesh faced wheels are tricky,

sold them. Junya^^ made them beautiful lol

[siopaolover]

Make a build thread pare!

hoy I was planning on it! lol. I'll get one started soon

much better without the mesh wheels and ugly tinted tails. i would honestly suggest saving up and investing in a set of coils

i'm sure with nelson29's advice you'll be on the right track with the 210. even though i have a 211, i love the 210, its such a boss ride. do it some justice with a nice set of wheels!

thanks man. I like the ride height and quality on my springs right now, so I think I might just stick with these for now.

and definitely! nelson09's advice has helped me head in the right direction. I can't even stand looking at the old pictures lol. I'm actually on a set of Brabus IV's. still looking for the 3 piece IV's though...

Fuck yea ill go lower.

[siopaolover]

Legit Benz bro, How low you trying to go?

thanks man. I'm tucking in the rears and have one finger gap in the front. I think I want to go another 1/4 inch in the front though

finally got around to lowering haha. here are a few pictures i've taken

[lean-king]

yee salinas hahah

[siopaolover]

anyone in the bay area that cuts springs? haha

[siopaolover]

yea, when you lower it you could go a few ways

1. Cut the stock springs - cheap and some say a bit dangerous but will work for the most part
2. Lowered springs - a few hundreds dollars and will lower it 1.5-2" (maybe not enough, so can cut a coil of them to get lower)
3. coilovers - these are adjustable manually to raise/lower the car - not sure if they are available for w201 - cost Im not sure maybe 800-2000
4. air - airbags replace springs and it remotely adjustable to any height you desire - expensive - a few thousand

I'm actually looking into B&G springs because they lower it 1.6" then I can change the spring pads and hopefully get low enough

also, car looks awesome. I think some 25mm spacers in the rear could really help - you would most likely need to get longer wheel bolts also so the bolt could go through the wheel, the spacer and still have enough thread left to grab into the hub. safety is important

Thanks! nelson09 actually suggested H&R DRAs and I'm trying to find some right now for a good price

Love the w210s. Been looking at one recently and so tempted to pick it up and cut a few coils.

I hear in Canada you can take the w210 to any Benz dealer and they're obligated to rust proof it every year

Do it. You won't regret it

awesome .. the truth!
