Thanks for all the love guys.... I've very happy with the outcome this far, I still have a nardi wheel to throw in it and do something with the exhaust system as it looks like a cheese grater.
Love how you found an estate the same color as your sedan. I've got a sedan and didn't switch when I had my baby girl too..how do you find the time or money to work on hour ride?
I've wanted to bag my sedan but I'm not VERY mechanically inclined and it sounds like a lot of retrofitting and testing which scares me really. If I found a ready made kit For under 2g's I would def go that rout.

Very nice work nonetheless.
Thanks man! Time and money haha... I'm just learning now that mostly the "time" part is gonna be hard to come by. My baby girl was just born yesterday on 7/13. I sold the sedan to one of my close friends soon after I found out I was having a kid. I knew right then I wanted a w124 wagon. I loved the smoked silver color and was lucky to find this at a local hole in the way dealership. I pretty much just save half of my tax money from last year along with just sayin extra cash from pay checks. I was lucky to have the wheels from an previous car even more previous then the w124 sedan. I had a friend actually install the bag brackets due to the fact that I can't weld (yet). The rear suspension was a hassle to get right. There is still some adjustments to make to the car.

No affiliation, haven't seen him around in a while, no idea whether they're any good or not, etc. etc. etc.
Other than that, you're doing custom fab. If you're never planning to go back to coil springs, then you can likely save yourself a load of trouble by just welding the bag mounts to your spring pockets on the body and LCAs. Take a look at what MikeyRA did on his coupe to get some ideas. If you don't want to weld to the control arms, then you're doing what I did, which was to make custom spring cups, and yeah, there's lots of trial and error involved, I'm afraid.
BTW, JKerem: Congrats on the kiddo! Go get yourself one of those Recaro baby seats
