[projektzwo]

hmm.. from the pictures i can see a little hit? it can't be totalled by such a hit... more pictures?

anywayz what is your plan now, getting a new one?

[540iboy]

damn man, sorry for the loss, and you only made the thread 10 days ago

glad your alright though!!

Hmmm I might do this, the thinnest available spring pad is 8mm from MB and I just lowered my car on H&R's this weekend which are progressively wound and don't feel like cutting them. Definitely gonna keep that in mind, thanks dude.

Just realized I am running the same suspension combo as you, h&r/kyb.

Are you going to the simply clean show this weekend in sanford?

Ok guys i have bad news. The benz is totalled. I was driving to CVS to get my medication for my cold and a Lincon SUV pulled out in front of me and i ran into her. Luckily it was her fault and her insurance is being very easy to work with. But my car is done for, everything is smashed. The airbags went off and everything. I am ok, the only damage i took was some bruishing from the airbag going off, but other than that i am fine. I already am looking for a replacement car and i am down to three brands, mercedes, audi and bmw. Ive found a very nice a-4 but i cant make a decision until i get the insurance check. It is a unfortunate situation, but i am fine and no one was hurt and hopefully i can get into another nice car and move on. But here are some pics. They are crappy cell pics.



And here is the insurance truck towing my baby away. I had to strip her down. No wheels or radio and everything else that ive put into the car.

Sick 210. Squatin' nice and low.

Not bad at all. I just wanted to go lower without having to cut another coil off my spring.

I don't understand taking out the spring perches, do you mean the spring pads?

Your car looks great, I chose my 97 e320 for the reliability and longevity of the inline 6 as well.

Yeah thats what i meant, im just used to saying perches instead of spring pads.

Nice MB. Love the frog eyes.

I'm a big fan! How stiff is the kgb/h&r combo? Think you can space um out a bit without worrying about rite rubbing against metal?

Thanks lol
They actually ride very nice, its not bouncy or anything like that. They are a bit stiff, more than the factory shocks are, but not too rediculous. But the way it sits now, i have about 1 inch of clearance between the wheel and the fender. I was planning on running 15mm spacers in the front and 20mm in the rear and that would still leave me with some room to spare.

Looks good, I want to do one of these up sometime in my life.

[conski]

Yeah, its a 96' with the sraight 6 m104 engine and the 4 speed trans.

M104's are the best! You're lucky though cause you have HFM injection, I'm stuck diddling around with CIS; a lot more custom fabbing to get anything performance wise done
