[Laef]

Some iPhone news (yes. don't you dare complain about the quality haha)

first i hit 200k



then 25mm spacers arrived



this is how it came out, i'm pretty happy



buuuut it's gonna rub like hell if it's lower



before / after



I took them off, my arches really needs to be rolled and I need to find someone to do it the proper way haha

see ya guys

[Laef]

Thanks man appreciate it!

Well, it kinda rides the same, dont worry about that!

It's still more bouncy than a 3series tho, but hey, it corners great for a fuckin boat haha

Can't wait to see yours btw!

[meech]

i love it man, i just picked up a 420sel how does it ride after the cut springs, I've cut springs on sports cars but I'm afraid to do it on this car

Hi guys, thanks for words! always nice to read

The front is a little bit lower after some miles, here's a iPhone pic i took in my parking lot...



The spacers should be here by the end of the week, aaaand more low will coming too! (front and rear if enough time)

I love big old body like your merc and your E34 !
I'm also from FR (Montpellier ) and on the way to stance my E46.

With a little bit more camber it will be perfect :P

Keep going, it's very nice !

Yeah yeah more camber should happen with the lowering ("natural" camber on benz's!)

Au fait on est pas très loin du coup, la prochaine fois on s'parle en français ? haha

It's nice to FINALLY see a woodgrain Nardi on a car that actually has woodgrain in it! Not trying to start a war but I absolutely cannot stand to see these in broken down Civics and e36s that have no wood anywhere in the car.

Looking good. Keep it aggressively classy!

Haha, although a Nardi always looks good by himself but i have to agree, love the way it is with my interior!

Speaking of that, the original woodgrain looks sooo faded now

Thx will do!

I agree. I'm considering one for the E38 but need to find one with the right shade of wood.

Merc's looking tidy, love me a big German barge

Thank you, love the route your e38's taking btw!

A dark wood tone like mine should fit perfectly ur interior i think!

Feel ya man haha... I'm gonna have to do this but i'm just tired of cutting

I was wondering if bilstein hd or others "lowering shocks" will help?

Me too haha.. But I hope this weekend will be the last time to cut the coils

I heard a lot of people talking about bilstein shocks, because its stiffer than the standard shocks..

[Laef]

Alright, 25mm spacers ordered ! For real this time haha

It should be good, stay tuned!

Thanks guys appreciate!

Speaking of lowering the front, I cut half a coil more this afternoon (which makes 2 coils off now), but it looked like exactly the same

Let's just see if it settles during the night, i'll take a pic tomorrow anyway!

Haha been there done that. im gonna cut 2 1/3 in the fronts and 2 in the back. because 1.5 in the back isn't working lol

[Laef]

Dang, thank you man! Really diggin' it, and it may be the next thing happening after refurbishing the wheels!

^ now this man here has a vision

I like the look of how things are progressing man

The PS looks pretty good huh?
Thanks man, appreciate it !
