Loud, Low and Blue? W124 Build

Found this baby for sale a while ago. Was smart enough to take a snapshot of it

And yes. It was a 400 as well

Check the hub of the wheel before you cut, sometimes the hubs have voids, might be enough for the bolts to slip through

Yeah already did when I bought them haha I usually would have only gotten them if they had them bt for the price I couldn't turn them down. I'm just going to chop the bolts today.

WOW Now that is cool, I love those wheels but I personally would not run them in black just because I don't love the black/blue combo. I NEED that bumper in my life.

Anyways mini-update here, I was able to piece together some brackets for these e36 adjustable weight jacks. I'll post up the info for them if they work, I am installing them later this afternoon...


Also here's a little pic of my goals by the end of this month fitment wise.


saw this outside of my school today, pretty cool in my opinion, would ditch the autozone chrome wheels/10 though.

You condemn my thread update yet you dare to call this an update.

I like to keep anyone who cares about this thread up to date with what is going on. I put the update in up-to-date. +1 for sh*tty memes. Post about your Porsche already I'm dying to see that rendering come to life.

So I got a thing done today... I managed to fit some swift springs with adjuster into the 400e, so very pleased with the ride BUT I will be picking up a set of Bilstein B8 rear shocks so I can have it a little stiffer. Even with 34K It isn't as stiff as I would love it to be, Surprisingly. SO Pretty :


Here's a quick pic of my fitment at full shock travel, bad photo but these ranger shocks are short!


Aaaaaaaaan some late night inspiration to my build, god I love old luxurious cars tucking big wheels. Soon enough.

[Greg]

I like your set up better than mine lol. I think I'm going to order those springs and adjusters.

[Laef]

Damn, love those springs man.

[190Evan]

Damn, love those springs man.

They are SO nice, 10/10 would recommend

If you need any info on what get exactly slide into my Dm's on Instagram, I know you know where to go Also I would recommend going with bigger bottom washers on the bottom of the Lower control arm because mine are a little small and I am just going to swap them out to be safe.

I should be getting the rear camber arms on today and the wheels mounted, hopefully.

[190Evan]

UPDATE, got my camber arms in last night aaaaaaand I don't know how much I trust them honestly. I jacked the car up after driving home form the garage and the wheel would move inward when I pushed it as if the arm wasn't solid. It seemed to go away this morning but I don't know what could be the case. Looks rad though...

Pic @ my school

Zoomed in... Look at that camber! any guess on degrees?

[Gentleman]

Looks stupid though.

[spaaals]

yess, in for a lot of camber

[190Evan]

Looks stupid though.

Yeah, It didn't look all too good with the stock wheels on but if you're referring to the camber that's just my cup of tea. Im planning on running about -20 ish in the back.

Small Update: I got the wheels on, well the back ones, BUT before here's a little photo of my car at work last night, really like this photo for some reason, makes the car look more aggressive IMO. Sorry for the bad quality though I had uploading issues

Aaaaaaaaaand here's the money for ya...This is at my highest ride height, Im plannign on going about 2 inches lower. Succ me to whoever said you couldn't tuck wheel on 17's in a w124, you're wrong!

This is before I lowered it and added a few more degrees of camber to the back. So far I absolutely love it, Can't wait to install my e36 fronts and mount the front wheels and go lower. Soon brethren, soon.
