Bro im exactly where u are at... with the anxiety ! i always wanted to bag my cars ever since my S10. but never got aorund to them, i wanna bag the w124 but i have a feeling i have to part with it cause i need the money, but i still got the air ride kit laying around and i got a w201 so Im pretty excited also! Tooo much stuff going on always getting in the way! Im glad your actually doing this to your benz its going to be Solid!

sell the w124?! you just painted it ! not sure if i have seen pics of the w201. they are what got me into mercedes, for some reason i just LOVED 190e's. still great looking cars, especially with multipiece AMG's.

Thanks man, and yeah rear was already sitting low prob sloppy springs/struts so were just cutting a few coils off the fronts, not gonna go as low as mine haha.

...but ended up with koni lowered springs.

AFTER

If lowering springs did that, then that's just perfect as is!

Yep, Koni lowering springs that were 2" drop from memory and I put in #1 pads front and back. sat perfect and rode perfect. I miss that car, but I like my C43 more

just need to lower the C43... shame koni doesnt do springs for the V8

Lame update #11: Accuair Install update

Car is up on the lift, all suspension is stripped and measurements were made for bags/brackets

Brackets were made last Friday and all bags are in

Fabricator said jacking the wheels up saw them go nice and far up into the fenders

Thursday temporary air supply will be connected to check operation of suspension components and ill head down to check that out

After that Accuair system will be installed and all final lines run. Stoked

*Also had some rust repair done in the trunk which was good to get out of the way

Sweet!!

[bobbyjones]

what bags did you end up using front and back?

[D&W]

what bags did you end up using front and back?

They have gone with airhouse 2 bags, they do not increase in diameter when deflated too much and still have about 8.5" of range I think. and collapse to 2"

apparently they ride really nice also, as they are just 1 tube and not a double bellow they are not quite as bouncy.

i guess ill find out myself how they ride soon enough cant wait

Stopped down at Socal Suspension today and saw their progress. You have no idea how excited I am and can't wait to get this back in my hands

Awesome build going on there - love the bullet holes



Anyway onto my car....they are Airhouse 2 bags in there with brackets fab'd up by the shop

Starting Point




Aired out - Front







Trunk with rust repair all done and hooked up temporarily on shop air to test bags/brackets/movement






Pickup next week
