68 Mercedes

That's the best way to go about it with older cars. I've always took care of most the maintenance before the fun modifications. Keeps you on the road more often than not.
Love the car btw, really looking forward to seeing pictures of the install and after.

thanks guys. just got some new tires fitted the other day. same white-line tires as was previously on there.

just making sure i sort out all important mechanical stuff before i get it booked in for suspension.

might even get a pesky oil leak fixed prior as well. vintage cars need some love to keep em in good shape

The shop is planning on going with UAS bags all round. Others have used re-6 however they feel that the UAS will provide a nice ride and help with clearance up front as opposed to a double bellow bag.

They just finished work on installing bags in a CL500 mercedes a few weeks ago

i know its not a very satisfying update but i went down to a suspension shop in SD today and at this stage I think they will be doing the install. Just time to go get tires for the 2 cars and then book it in for the suspension work

i wanted to ask you, the guy on benzworld with the w114 using accuair. do you have contact information on the guy that did the install? you mentioned he was really helpful and i have alot of questions,

Wow did you just buy that car? NICE!

PM me your email and I can forward you the emails from him there is some good info and pics for w114

so did you go with re-6 bags in all four corners? i've seen some build were they used re-5 bags in the front due to clearance issues between the bag and shock. also are you relocating the rear shocks? i'm sorry, i just can't wait for an update on this.

I am waiting to find a shop for install before I buy bags. I know a guy in australia that bagged a w108 with re-6 all round and no problems. But good to know as the re-5 is about .5" thinner I think. but 2" less height extension

Shouldn't have to relocate the rear shocks. I believe you have to on a w114 but not on a w108

hopefully update more soon!
