Welcome! Looks good man. Air ride vs. Static is your opinion, but I would never do cut springs. Don't half ass a nice classic like that. I would never cut springs on anything regardless. Personally... I would through some air ride into this. It's a good condition looking car and wouldn't want to destroy the underside of it hahah. Little bit more expensive upfront, but you will without a doubt be saving money on broken parts in the long run. Hope this helps!

Welcome!

Bags would absolutely the way I'd go on a W111. You've got independent springs and shocks, so air ride is very straightforward on these. There are a few bagged W108s out there, which have very similar suspension that you might steal some ideas off of.

Thanks for the reply's, looks like i have got plenty of time to decide due to the west coast port delays
Air is looking like the way forward just need to find the right kit!
