My W124 E300 diesel build

[Bystrov]

Hey Paul, wut up brroo, here are some of the rolling shots I took that weekend up in the ATL, sorry they didn't come out that good I really thought we had more time after the publix. At sowo I'll make it up and maybe we can get some rolling shots on the way to helen or back from there...

Daniel you pained it ? looks awesome.

new wheels? but you want to keep 18" or go to 17"?

the solution to have the rear poke is these, these are my last wheels, I've allready sold them... Aero II with 9,75"

[AMGwheelwhore]

Looks money as usual

I'm going to stick to 18s, but 17s aren't out of the question.

Where did you get your wheels expanded from?

Daniel! I love the rolling shots! See you next weekend.

Amgwheelwhore: thanks man. Look for new photos soon. I'm lower and tucking now... 8)

well, this work have been made at Portugal, the price is around 300€ here.

if you go to 17's I love the amg 3 piece aero's..yes, lot of w124 with them, but looks great imo..oz futura are also a good option.

in 18" I like the carlsson's 3/6, 8,5 and 10"

Gotcha, yea 17s would be good too. I might stick to 18s since that's how my car is set up on.

I'm torn on what to do about the reverse rake. Since my gas tank is so huge it fluctuates how much the rear squats.

Let me hear your thoughts.

1) Lower fronts more? I scrub already but barely on turns. Spring gets loose when the car is raised.

2) Raise the rear to reduce the reverse rake when loaded?

3) leave it alone and remove the spare tire... Won't fit on the car at the moment anyways....
Picture below is with a full tank of gas.

i say raise the rear since i love the front fitment. plus it defeats the purpose of having a sedan/trunk

[MikeyRa]

Ditch spare tire, and R129 front strut mounts!

[chompsticks]

F it! I'm going to cut a little more on the fronts....

Did snap a nice photo today though and installed the updated s600/avantegarde grill

[AMGwheelwhore]

Change out the rear shim pads

[MikeyRa]

ooo, I like the grill and shaved hood emblem combo!

Yea I added a 1 and a 3 to the rear already. It's looks perfect how it sits now. Just got to get the fronts to level out so I've decided I want to cut a little more on the fronts... Hehe not sure how much to cut. 1/4, 3/8 or 1/2... I feel like 3/8 might be jelly.

ooo, I like the grill and shaved hood emblem combo!

The grill and shaved emblem change the age of the car drastically. Well and still having a decent paint job.

R129 strut mounts fit right in or is there some modifications involved?
