W124 suspension - can't find what i need...

[projektzwo]

Since Bulgaria has poor roads, don’t rely on custom made shocks by cutting your spring. Since you make your decision choose from these options, try bilsteins or H&R. Remember that they make shocks for stock cars. So try those and ask someone expert in these shocks lively other than any passive advices.

yeah.. poor roads, but deff will go lower, don't give a fawk for the roads at all... also i will not pay such a high amount for shocks like Bilstein, Koni & etc., just because i gotta work almost a year for them...

And i'm out from the idea to buy SPAX or any different make of shocks (for now), because i have found what i'm looking for, even in my town. I'm talking about expert in the hidraulics, so he guarantees that he can make whatever i want from one stock shock - softer, harder, shorter, longer - anything! So this will be very cheap - about 30euro per shock and i'll give him a chance, so i'll post what's done when i'm ready.

Thanks everybody!

Nice, cut em. I'm on cut oem coils. 1 3/4 front and 2 1/4 rear. Time for bilstein ss shocks. 124s have spring pads I assume, if they do and you haven't yet, you could swap them out for #1 pads all the way around for some more low.

yep the 124s have spring pads, but mine is without... any

now i'm with 2 coils cutted front and rear and the stock sportline shocks, so probably will be enough when i put the spax shocks, otherwise i'll cut the springs a little bit more...

after all guys i thing that if e talk about going super low with your w124 then this is one of the best options for this amount, and there is only one way to go low for less money - custom made struts, i'll checkout one place here in my town where they said that there is no problem to cut my struts, but i'm not sure how good will they do the job...

that's very good, really thanks about the info...i have somethig interesting too... after contact with the support, they said that with this shortened shock you can go 80mm lower, which i think will be pretty enough with cutted springs.

To bump this thread, I asked some people about the company SPAX, if they're a refutable company, and they said yes, apparently the air cooled guys like their products a lot and stand by them.

i mean are your bilsteins with the oem height, or they're shorter?

also i think i found what i'm looking for, not so expensive, and as i can see those shocks are for extreme (50+) drop...

here they are -> front - http://www.europerformance.co.uk/pag...sub_category=1

rear - http://www.europerformance.co.uk/pag...sub_category=1

so... any comments for this manufacturer SPAX?

also i want to know what will be better for massive drop, shocks for 6-cylinders or for 4-cylinders, i'm running with 4-cylinder engine, but i think that will be better to get the 6-cylinders one? Actually what's the difference?

these seem interesting, how do these work? Like you cut your springs on how low you want the car, then put these in and lower them (the shocks?) then the car will handle tight because of the shocks? Someone clarify, cause I need new shocks as well

afaik w126 suspention is different from w210/w124

It was just a suggestion, but thank you for clarifying

I have a pair of front end bilsteins from a w126, maybe you could get em shortened? Not sure if it would work though.

H&R makes both Sport springs as well as Cup Kit for the W124 chasis. Cup kit comes with sport springs and significantly shortened shocks.

Basic search brother..

yeah sure, but did you check out the price... heh... my c124 is cheaper...there is no point...
