As soon as I saw it on instagram, I couldn't believe it! What made you wanna go on air? It seems like going bags is the new trend.....not that it's a bad thing cause it still requires money lol.

well a few reasons. Ive been static since i got the car , I have two friends who own newer mercs on air. one i borrowed for a couple of days. my brothers car is on air and a few other people who i know / have ridden in their cars on air. Between that and wanting more low made me do it. I chose paddle valves though, nothing fancy.

[Rob&co]

how much lower did it get you?

[SD202]

how much lower did it get you?

maybe like a inch and a half or two. I still want more low. Thinking about removing sway bar to see if that is holding it up any.

Broke the Budget. Bagged now. No more static.

just some of the work that i did myself. Will get some bracket shots soon even though i did not weld or fabricate those. just did the easy stuff like dremel out some stock bits, Mold a metal gauge plate that was cut out from a gauge panel. to the stock dash unit that was used for a in car phone from 1996. molded the switches into the ash tray. Was going to go a completely different direction than it ended up as far as the interior pieces go. As running the air line proved to be a challenge the W202 dash doesnt have much room for air lines and fittings after the switches and gauges are added. Also painted my tank and prepped a MDF board that held the inline 30 amp fuse and 12v40 amp relay as well as the compressor. I made it so that the tank and comp could be easily removed from the trunk. nothing fancy. but it gets the job done. And to disconnect all i have to do is unhook the power , ground, and keyed ignition. I ran that wire from the dash I used the cig lighter for this as it was removed to make room for the switches. The gauges lighting is wired to my shifter light that illuminates the P R N D 3 2 gear selections when my lights are on. My setup consist of 4 paddle valves. 1/4 air line. 4 Slam specialties ss5 bags. two dual needle illuminated gauges. one single needle gauge for tank pressure. A single 400c viair compressor. accuair 5 gallon tank Onto the pics.



mock up.









































the day i tried to mock everything up is when i realized i had to completely change my original plan for this to accommodate the limited space and not look to terribly ghetto rigged. as i was working with limited tools and supplies for everything.







this is not how i ended up doing it. although it did seem like i could make it fit in there cleanly.






running the air line was no fun













































the dash ended up looking like this. heres a before and after for those who arent familiar with W202 interiors








aired out.

Awesome install on the interior!

[SD202]

Dude. That's awesome. Great work!

thanks man ! was fairly simple

Awesome install on the interior!

thanks dude. Im still sorta on the fence about the switches. I think i want to redo them so that they are easier to get to when in park.
