  • Working on a W210

    Hey guys, finally started putting in actual work for my car. It's been a journey full of bad choices, but I think I'm getting things right this time

    Here's how she started:





    Now here's where things started going wrong...
    picked up these enkei's








    And here's where I started fixing those mistakes.
    got rid of those ugly black tails, but still had the enkei's and sat higher than wiz


    Picked up some Brabus IVs, which I've been looking to get for a while.





    Then I finally got around to lowering it. It took me over 3 years, but I found the perfect time to get it done

    My friend was changing springs on his E55, so he asked if I wanted to work on mine at the same time. I decided to take his old springs and chop a coil off all around.


















    Did some measurements, and ordered 25mm adaptec spacers for the rears

    before:
    fitment


    after:
    fitment
    fitment
    rears
    rears

    FIRST!

    anyway those hideous enkeis will now be my winter rims. Need to mention your future plans essa. I think you need to cut one more coil.... all around.

      ^ what he said looks good though. Could have maybe re lipped the enkeis to look decent.

                  Go another coil up front and half a coil out back. Have you changed out your spring pads?

                      I was planning on going another coil up front, but I kinda like the rears the way they are lol. I wanna keep the rake and I have #1 pads all around. kinda curious to see how it would look without them and how safe it is to not have them lol

                        you dont need a spring compressor dude. just place jack under lower ball joint supporting it. remove front shock. remove sway bar link ( important) and then lower control arm slowly.


                        i broke my cheapo klann from ebay so i had to do it this way.


                        you shudda bought my slam springs brah!

                          I remember I saw that once on mbworld and I was wondering how easy it is to do. If I have time later tonight, I'll definitely give it a try

                          haha and I wish I did! damn those looked so good lol. how was the ride though?

                            rode like crap. the front bilsteins are blown and the rear accumulators need replacement so it sucked. i can honestly say it was a rolling death trap. haha
