Big Booty Benz / '86 420 SE

[Laef]

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!

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

[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!

Cannot Believe I didn't see this man! Super rad old w126, I was gonna swoop one up before I got my 400e. Wish I could have told you not to buy that compressor before did haha you don't really need them after you cut the coils. Did you say you were in California? or was that someone else? Anyway I'm in for this! Subbed!

[JHermes]

Well that's ok, in fact the compressor is still pretty handy as I can remove springs in like 5min haha
Nah I'm from France ! I wish I lived in CA

Haha! Wow I was off, well yeah I'm almost to the point where when the car gets jacked up the springs are about to fall out....But I'm ordering some ford focus rear springs and sleeves to run in the back so I'll be at about 1,100 lb in the back and 12K up front.

Hi there

Took a couple of shitty pictures, nothing new tho but I wanted to share anyway

[Gamerx]

Nice limo man.

[Laef]

Appreciate it man!

[Laef]

Put a sticker on my windshield. Yes I'm that kind of person...



Now I need to cut the springs some more. Again. (like for the 4th time )

Oh, spacers are in!

Couldn't find anybody lending me a fender roller sooo I bought a heat gun and "rolled" them with a hammer.



Non-potato pics soon I promise haha
