    Why the fuck does that thing have TWO springs in it...
    I know most older benz have the shock on the outside and spring on the inside, but why on earth would you put coilovers where the strut is and then keep a spring on the inside? Ride must be so strange...
    Just get some nice bilstiens shortened and chop away at the springs and this thing will be sitting nice!
    I love W124 coupes!!

            don't have any idea, i'm guessing its some european racer. they seem to be wayyyy ahead of us when it comes to doing any kind of custom work on the older german cars

            I went to my local pick and pull to get a grill but didn't have an extension for my ratchet to get the two bolts that go from inside the hood out to the grill, that pissed me off lol. But i plan on going back and getting it then doing the matte black thing and plugging the hole where the hood ornament sits. What kind of multi spoke wheels did you have in mind?

              Like the ones posted on the previous page!, or possible ADV-Ten style wheels or maybe some Braubus rims.

                  At Ebay Germany a complete set of shortened sport dampers can be bought for 140 euros.

                  might be interesting.. i guess they are 2 inches shorter...

                        Yes i live Very close to the border and have a saturday-job in Germany. So shipping isn't very expensive for me.

                        I have a set of BMW e30 shocks (of the same b-brand/b-ware) for my 2002 and they work great.
