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

[freshjive80]

heres my w124 cut 3 coils

They don't make a Sport or HD shock for w126 diesels

well, in your case you have only one option - custom made struts - which means -> cut the stem -> maybe refilling -> make new carving on the cutted stem -> mount the new shocks ->

Try W201 1.8, 2.0, 2.3, or 2.3-16 lowering springs. Also, I recommend Bilstein Sports to compensate for the drop. You'll be very surprised at how good the car rides.

well i think that actually we have a solution, thanks to everyone and any other ideas/suggestions are welcome...

Isved that cool! That good contribution to your tip, I am precisely the same situation I've always wanted a W124, but I was discouraged by the fact that there are no options to give ground.

not directly on point, but I did cut springs on my w123 240d



not really a whole lot of options for the benz spring setup. my best advice would be find some shorter shocks to compensate for the drop.

but other than that, not much help at all I am afraid

how many coils have you cut off so far ?

i have a 300 SDL and the diesels are super heavy !

for now - 2 coils, i think next step will be 1/2 coil or maybe 1 coil, but it depends on that how short will be the shocks, because now with 2 coils cut + sportline shocks, the rear springs can't stay static when the car is lifted if you can understand what i mean...

i'm having the same problem with my w126

Well that sucks pretty well...
I make decision - i'll take shorter shocks and maybe some springs or i'll try to cut mine more, because they're sportline and really stiff. For now - static drop.

Now i'm with cutted avantgarde springs with two coils, and still can't get low enough, and if i want to cut more, i'll have to change the shocks. However, thanks about the W210 advice...

[Mikael]

Cut the springs, thats the easiest.
No prob to get a 124 really low with cutted springs.
If you don't want to cut at all; W210 lowering springs fits, and gets it a bit lower than 124 lowering springs

This is a S124 with cutted W210 springs ( original 40/40mm)

How are the roads in bulgaria... my girl is from Riga latvia. the roads are bad there..
But oke LOW IS A LIFESTYLE!!

Maybe you can take the springs -6cm and cut it... Eventually take the coil adjusters to put under the springs to make it adjustable.

[projektzwo]

I'm from Bulgaria and that makes everything more difficult. After all i can just take some stiffer(shorter) shocks and maybe home made adjustable springs...
