my 89 190e

Wow best e190 around!

[Twannnd]

whoah! so nice mate!

question: You have removed the spring and placed a coilover on the same place the shock goes? Are those mounting points strong enough too handle the extra forces created by putting a coilover there?

[Williammk1]

for anyone who is wondering.



and from the front..not the best picture. also the toe is messed up. anyone know how i could fix this myself and dail it in. i am more than sure i won't be able to get on any racks around here

[UberPare]

haha, i haven't got the chance to drive it yet. but cool wheels!

But I'm sure there isn't much travel,there maxed out and no bump stops lol.ill put a half stop in... I haven't looked yet.tomorrow I'm going to go through it all and see whats up.. But yea thats why i did the camber plate deal so i could have a bearing and as well for camber, but yea i wouldn't trust the factory mounts. i broke mine taking the strut bolts off. but some people run the full coil with the factory mounts, brave people haha

But it is my goal to make it work, because it looks so crazy and iv never seen a static w201 this crazy

Brave people indeed. Hey if you can make it work more power to ya. I know most of the guys that get that low up front static are basically riding the bump stops. If only the front solutions were as easy as the rear. DinanDave had like quarter inch plates welded to the towers. Had his pics on my old phone thats long gone. Compared to a car that runs a true coilover the 190 mounts look wimpy with that huge hole in the middle lol.

Holy shit this thing is amazing, I cant believe you can even fit that low of offset wheels on there like that. Nice work!

Thanks man! I wish the rears had a lower offset.

[Williammk1]

Yea your ride height is nuts. That's aired out bag height on a w201 LOL. My wheels are centra/ronal type 31s. 16x8 +11 concave.

How much strut travel do you have in the fronts? E36 struts are only an inch shorter than stock unless the racelands are shorter than stock e36? I was thinking about running e36 struts with a r129 raised strut mount, but with that camber plate I'm afraid the strut would bust through the tower when you bottom out. I prefer the spring in the stock location just because I dont trust that strut tower to hold without reinforcement.

so sick dude! Wheels are an awesome choice too

thanks man!

[Williammk1]

Holy shiet. I like this. Was thinking about going lower, and you just put that nail in my coffin. Haha. Been looking at those universal camber plates also glad someone pulled the trigger! I spaced my front fenders out & there's a .5in poke with no camber out front. This is on 16x8s +11.

Yea i need to space my front fenders. ill probably work on that tomorrow. right now the fenders are sitting on the wheels. and i need order some toe arms. i need to raise the rear up some. the wheel is hitting the upper inner fender lol. its nuts.. What wheels do you have by the way?
