I've been really intrested to airride a while now, and i own a mercedes w210, and decided to going air, so all help needed!

[Oh Damn, it's Sam]

What questions can we answer?

You're welcome to have a look at my setup in my build thread. It's on a W124, but the W210 suspension is very similar.

Yea have looked at your setup and it seems to work really good! How low can u go with ur setup? I've have looked on the ss-5 bags, those seems to work good?
What managment are u using?

Mine will drop the car about 115mm-120mm from stock. Some peoples' setups can go somewhat lower, since I built mine to be able to clear my very steep driveway at maximum lift. Were I to trim my brackets somewhat shorter, I'd bet I could get another 10-20mm before my bags would start running into the control arms.

I think the SS-5 bags are excellent, though they are a fairly tight fit in the front of a W124, and I'd imagine the situation is similar on a W210 as well. I really like a double-bellows bag in this application, since clearance around the front inner fender well is so tight. They are beautifully-made, and the internal bumpstop is a great feature. Mine have also held up to more abuse than I would have ever expected them to. Others run the Air House 2 bags and seem to like them.

I'm on AccuAir e-Level, and love it to death. It's a superb piece of equipment.

Bag Riders is currently offering a bracket and bag kit for the W124 and W201 that you might have a look at. I don't know whether it'll work for the W210, but it'll give you a sense of what you're looking for when it comes to brackets: link

Thank u for the information!!

AccuAir seems to be so good! i'd love to have it, but we will se how the budget is in the spring! Hope to afford it then!

Yeah, have seen that setup on bagriders, the suspenison on the w124 and w210 like u said is very similar, so it should fit with some small modifications.
