Default My 1990 w124 - Mercedes Benz

Chassis: 1990 4dr w124 e300
Suspension: H&R springs & Bilstein Struts
Wheels: BBS RS with 2.5in lips all round 16x8.5 +17









wish list:
1. take out 25mm spacer out back and add a 3.5 in lip
2. new front lip that sits lower and more aggressive
3. coilovers or bags to adjust ride height
4. new paint job

Update:

yellow speed racing suspension kit



height adjustable with front camber plates







rears slammed, but totally undriveable for a daily



raised her up a bit:



needs more poke... thinking of 10mm front spacers and adjust less camber in the rear


new phone pic and mr. tony doing some fender work:




instagram: KNOLAS

Update: some pics from a local mercedes meet

I like the camber and the meaty fitment, from your plans you seem to know what your doing so keep it up.

The camber also gets the car lower in the rear without having to cut another coil

Thanks bro! I'm currently using 195/50 for the fronts (for better fender clearance) and 205/50 for the rears. I cut a 1.5 coils up front and one in the rear with the H&R springs. On the third pic it shows my old front setup (205/50)
