Cars side by side makes mine look 4x4

Oh okay, I didn't realize H&R made differed in their construction of the coils. I have the ones that have the coils closer together on one side with the dead coils as well. Thanks for answer my questions though. I have heard some people complain when they take the pads off and some think it is still smooth. I have to get a spring compressor to test it out. The jack process is a pain in the ass in the front on the w124's lol. I'm guessing you have a dual link lower control arm on your's as well, right? The rears are super easy just the fronts are killer.

The front were a pain in the butt man. I got the IRS rear and wishbone style up front. My Lower control arms up front look like L shapped hunks of metal the spring sits in it and the sway bar is linked to it. For the fronts I used a merc specific spring compressor .

You are awesome. Love the car. Glad you ditched the sticker bomb look.

Will be going back to the original OEM chrome grill and badges =D

too low in the back or too high in the front

it's sitting on its ass

otherwise great 'budget' build

Its a tad raked but not much. mercs always have that lower in the rear look. Cannot go any lower in the front unless i move to smaller wheels/ tires im rubbing on the inner top part of the fender and dont really feel like cutting through to the engine bay like bagged mini trucks do to get the frame on the ground. she can throw sparks driving on flat ground when i got passengers how it is.

Hondamonster: im thinking about poking the wheels out more +0
Thanks for the love everyone. And the constructive criticism. i actually need to replace my ambers. The tab broke off from vibration i guess and now it gets condensation inside sometimes.

[C-Hutch]

i dig it! the overall look is nice. I probably wouldn't have pulled the fenders so much though

[RomanTaylor]

Not digging amber corners and Euro tails. But I'm Amber lights ***** so I'm kinda biased towards clears
Grill looks little out of place, but I think it would look much better with clear corners.
Otherwise I like it.

Uh Well they are linear progressive so no adverse effects each coil is spaced the same they are not the H&Rs that have the coils closer together on one side so that when touching become dead coils. The ride with no pads sucked I went back to #1s all around when i put the 18s on. If you are thinking about cutting ur H&Rs just remember to not heat the spring up and just take ur time half coil at a time is what i did till it sat just where i wanted it. ill get some shots of my handcontrols in the Am for anyone interested. they are very basic.

Clean build man, I have h&r's on my coupe right now did you experience any loss or negative feeback in the handling after cutting the springs since they are progressively wound?

Also how is the ride with no spring pads?

Love to see more and more people with the mercedes bug.

Have any performance upgrades in mind?
