Could you please tell me what you running and then I can maybe run the same setup.
Meanwhile I am definitely going to cut coils, on 1 of the other posts somebody mentioned they cut 2.75 up front and 2 at the rear, I am not sure if this means 2.75 inches or 2.75 coils etc....

These cars are quite easy to bag so it's good and quite straight forward.
Good luck

Very simple install according to the shop that did mine, simple brackets, very very little cutting to the car (like none basically - just a few small cuts to mount the height sensors and some holes to drill the cable stays in)
I am having a slight issue with some rubbing up front (bag to control arm) so that might need to get trimmed a little.
where in SD are you?

You think you could shoot me some pics of the front so i can get an idea of what i should order.
Ohh im in the southbay to.

Should be able to just bolt the cups up to the arms and run lines. My problem is that im not sure how tall the cups should be.

I had the front end apart due to a failed kingpin. The shock saved my suspension from seeing much worse. Get those in if you can ASAP. If the bag fails or worse the kingpin it could get pretty crazy so watch out for that.
But any.. Your benz still gets me every time!! Good S***!!

rear is exactly the same (but maybe slightly diff cup measurements)
i received some new bilstein shocks the other day so they will go in when its back at the suspension place for a check over. Im not driving it much right now as I need to upgrade the alternator, its just not keeping up and battery is not being charged
cheers man. I hope to have my car all sorted with alternator and adjustments to the setup in the next 2-3 weeks
