I know I'm bringing this thread back from the dead, so I'm sorry for that.
However has anyone massed produced or have a schematic of the brackets used to secure the bags to a W210?

Let's bring this topic up! I'm thinking of putting bags on my w124 merc, and the suspension parts are same kind as 210. So I'm interested of seeing pictures of bag mountings on w124, w209, w210 or w202.

We have kits that cover almost all price points in the market place. We don't just sell BagYard rear bags or fronts. We're a pretty diverse company covering a number of price points and vehicle makes.

Guest repliedOriginally posted by andrew@openroad View PostIMO a pipe and plate design isn't aesthetically pleasing, welds can break, we use T-6061 Aluminum which is anodized and is not flimsy, the upper bolt threads into the body with a crush nut. Our bags fully compressed are just a little over 4" and 13" fully expanded with air inside them. Don't think thats too shabby, but I could be wrong?
Does machined aluminum look nicer absolutely but it also comes with a much steeper price tag. re5's run about 150 for the set steel cups run about 40 bucks so your looking at 190 for a set vs your sets which I imagine are upwards of the $400 range per set which imo if your running a basic setup that extra 200 is a good portion of your management
I understand that you guys offer a good product but its not always the best product for everyones wants/needs/budget as not everyone can afford to spend 3k on air ride

Guest repliedOriginally posted by andrew@openroad View PostWe've done a number of benz suspensions, give me a shout and we can get you setup. It'll be CNC machined stuff, not pipe welded bag brackets.
RE-5's are great on the rear of a MkIV but a Conti-Tech rolling sleeve is far superior to any double bellow rear bag setup.

Guest repliedOriginally posted by r0nd3L View PostThe frame is pretty close right under the upper spring cup, so that's why I thought RE5 would work pretty well.
Are there pre-made cup brackets close that size? Need approximately 3.5" tall and 4.47" diameter.

Guest repliedOriginally posted by r0nd3L View PostWell, I took off the spring today and did some measurements of the spring height needed for slammed (bumpstops engaged) as well as desired driving ride height. I think Slam Specialties RE5 would work if it was set to 5.5" driving height in addition to the brackets taking up 3.5". It's hard to explain, so here's a little diagram I drew up. As you can tell, 9" is the desired riding height, so 9-5.5=3.5" worth of spacers/brackets. The only concern is air bag hitting the side of the frame since it's pretty close.
Am I somewhat on the right track with this?
wow you have a ton of clearance in there re5's would work perfect and you might even be able to use the airhouse 2's which are a little bit cheaper. Cup brackets would work perfect and then just using a large washer to bolt it through the bottom so it stays in place and you are all set. Let me know if you want me to get you pricing I get you anything you need

Guest repliedOriginally posted by r0nd3L View PostI'm planning on doing the same to my W124. I wonder how similar the suspensions are setup? W124 has separate springs and shocks as well.
I'm big air ride noob, but I got most of the air management figured out and have idea what to buy. However, can't find any information on air bag sizing and how are they supposed to be mounted.Originally posted by raffi91 View PostAfter looking at some diagrams the w124 suspension looks very similar to the w210. The only experience I have had with air ride was when I replaced the factory bags on my 1971 300sel, other then that im also a noob to these set ups. I have a general idea how everything works, but I'm still lost when it comes to mounting a bag and what size to run.
