Update

There wasn´t new updates because the car was all lifted and put back to stock and then off to the bodyshop for its sills to be replaced and repaired.

That lasted longer than expected…

After all that it was time to pass the MOT, when MOT passed it was time do bring it back

Here is how it sits now

Lower 1cm all around but still need to work on getting my fronts lower

Enjoy new images from my friend @2step.jpg on IG














Now saving up for new front suspension and few extra goodies and to finally repaint trunk

I have cut w124 300d springs and I'm just changing rubber on top of springs( currently removed it in the back and upfront there are ones with 3 notches)

How many coils did you have to cut? I have an H&R cup kit which sits very low in the front. It needed spacing blocks to raise it back up. I have a set of E420 springs to replace them with but I'm not sure how many coils I should start with.

Looks very good, how are you adjusting your ride height? Coilovers? Different Springs? Cutting Coils?

New Update

Car was lowered upfront(1 coil cut)

After that my front spacers finally came. Installed them was absolutely stoked on the fitment but as soon as I turned the wheel I was disappointed. It was rubbing heavily so I tried rolling fenders but it almost did not help at all because my tire has big sidewall without stretch.
To solve that problem I had 3 choices:
1.Raise the car and keep the spacers (no way)
2.Keep it at the same height and lose the spacers = sunken in fitment
3.Keep it at this height, keep the spacers but add camber

You can be sure I have chosen option number 3. Now I don't rub, I am still kind of low upfront and have matching camber front and rear DDD but only minus is that I still have kind of sunken in fitment upfront(gotta learn to live with it for a while).

Anyway here are some fresh photos of the car


Gotta say that underside definitely felt that offroading as I was scraping all the way to the spot





And here is new side profile shot with new height



Hope You guys like new update and pictures and look foward to new updates in the future

Car looks great! I agree; those wheels are perfect. Well done. Any videos of it?

[DawsonLiri]

Nice, you need some camber at the front to match the rear in my opinion.

[Miroteknik]

man those wheels look good on there, like that there
