The last shots were pretty bad since I took them with a camerphone, these came out a bit better.
A little background, I used to have a smoke silver 00 W210 wagon, but I ***** the color and the fact that it was 4Matic, which eradicated any possiblity of lowering it. So I searched for months all over the US and finally find this car in Texas, bought it and drove it back to SoCal. Its an 01 Tectite Gray (special ordered E55 color) with litterally every single option ever available for a W210 from orthopedic air conditioned seats, satnav, xenon, you name it. Plus it was in immaculate condition.
Car arrive in Los Angeles October 6th and I have already put 4 different sets of wheels on it, from Carlsson 1/5 to 1/6 to 1/12, but I think the OZ's really fit the car the best. The wheels are 18x8.5 et 20 front and 18x10 et 19 rear with 225/40 and 255/35 Dunlop SP9000 (the old school stretch tire). Car is lowered on H&R Cup Kit meant for an E55 sedan, since there is very little suspension options available for wagons, I know its not StanceWorks low as of yet, I'm still in the process of lowering the front with thinner spring pads, and the rear has "self-leveling" suspension which kind of has a mind of its own since it raise the car whenever it feels load in the back, so if I drive up a steap hill it will jack the rear end up for no reason. I'll work on that too tho..
I'm planing to keep the exterior stock, no bodykits, just lower, with the exception of that euro plate bracket and some euro molding (gets rid of amber side marker) I got from europe for the last car, which were on last week but had to take it back to the paint shop since they ghetto prepped it and the paint was starting to bubble.
Anyways, stance will get worked on within the next week or so. For now here are the pics:
Suggestions and criticism welcome.
