Hey guys, first post on Stanceworks! I just inherited a 1991 W126 Mercedes 420 SEL & just scanned through all these pages but am dieing to find information on where you guys are getting the knowledge to bag/stance these earlier model cars. If anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be awesome. I'm only savy in the Audi/Vw world but trying to start putting the pieces together in the Mercedes stance scene! Thanks guys!

These pictures are all absolutely gorgeous.

90% of these cars are on cut springs, no joke, its a lot more of a common practice with Mercs then VW's. But on the plus side, MB uses tightly wound linear springs unlike loose progressives on VW, so cutting a coil or 2 off isn't really as detromental on an MB as on a VW or honda...

One of mine. The 420. Broken down on the side of the road somewhere in oklahoma.

More info on wheel specs!

Full credit to you, Wagonist, for how my wagon will become, sir.
