Hello there everyone, i'm looking for some coilovers or just really shorts springs + proper shocks, but for now - just nothing. Now i'm wondering how it's possible the fact that nobody makes coilovers for that old Benz. I can find only suspension kits (springs + shocks) but the lower springs for W124 are 40-50mm. So i want some suggestions, is there any option to take some coilovers from other model of the Benz series or from some other make? Please help i want some massive drop...

Its difficult to lower a W124.. its not coil over.. due to the double wishbone and loose schocker
I think its good to measure the dimensions of the coil..look from several other cars iff you can use springs. and measure the length of the schockabsorber. than go for a look what will fit..
I know KONI has several lowered schockabsorbers max 4cm shortened thats for BMW e30
In the worst case you can cut the schokabsorber pin and tap new wire on it..
its not easy like VW or BMW
Where are you from...

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.

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)

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-Dictated but not read to expedite report.
