looks very nice, you're quite the wheel whore!! got any layin around for sale?haha
actually i do have quite a bit. give me a message n ill give u details
i think I've seen your car parked outside of block buster on Duarte and Baldwin on a few occasions. the car is looking nicer now with the new wheels.
yea.. i used to work at that blockbuster!
Nice!! Btw, your sig pic looks like a 3-series beemer for some reason ;)
Sup man long time no see it's frankthetank from Club 202. car is looking great man. Peace
Fabulous right? Looks clean. Plans for a kit? Are you lowered? Plans on going any lower? ;D
lowered right now on h&rs n kybs. planning to go rieger all around, n after that my next big mod would be air so it can lay on the ground.
more pics of the new wheels pls..decent pics pls..heheheh lookin good mate! ;D
got a rieger front lip.. still not painted, but looks ok.. need to get sides n rear before im going to paint. let me know what you think. [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v643/ryhi/PC220005.jpg[/IMG]
looks good, Foglights should set it off
Out of all your wheels you had on it....... the Fabs look the best on there VERY NICE!!
yea i really wanted to put my fogs back on but i thrashed my garage looking for them today.
good choice of kit, btw judgin from the pic u got there, looks like u can thrown in some spacers at the back, juz so make it look really flushed ^^
looking good bro...
yea i actually fitted 15mm spacers n it looked real nice but it rubbed on the part just above the sideskirt. i would need to get it rolled or trimmed. other than that i have a lot of clearance because i pulled my fenders.
new rims.. (temporary) [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v643/ryhi/P1070010.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v643/ryhi/P1070006.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v643/ryhi/P1070004.jpg[/IMG]
just got spacers on. im at a +15 now. i wanna go maybe +10 or +5 because my fender was pulled out way too much so now i want to fill the remaining gap. i also plan on dropping the car a bit more. pic.. [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v643/ryhi/P2230002.jpg[/IMG]
looks good!
Yep damn nice! Those Fabulous wheels are my favourite! :dance:
nice!
hi Ryhi 1.the fabs is 18" or 19" what are the specs of the rims and tires?? 2.Just wondering 19" can fit into a W124 CE? 3.u using H&R? 4. Did u convert ur pcd to 114.3? Sry for my stupidity question, how did u pull the fender? is there any tips? I just bought my W124CE ...planning to put either 18" or 19"....
thats a 19 yes it'll fit w124 i don't think he convert his pcds...plenty of wheels with 5x112 pcd yes u may need to roll some fenders will roller n shaver for some..
do u guys roll ur own fender? i just bought a 18" wheel, insufficient funds at the moment for a 19" wheel.. planning to put H&R spring and 1# spring pad.
ok 18" how wide?10?11?or wider? yes as for me i did roll my fender..n shave..
really nice.... ^^
my fenders were pulled. i am also running a 235/35/19 in order to run a +15 offset in the rear.
Looking good :thumbsup:
looking good... those cars are growing on me.....very nice
bored using mspaint.. [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v643/ryhi/vip.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v643/ryhi/toy.jpg[/IMG]

[QUOTE=555;47171]ok 18" how wide?10?11?or wider? yes as for me i did roll my fender..n shave..[/QUOTE] mine is staggered rims.....front 8" and rear 9" btw if u pull the fender, wud it looks weird? as in merc fender is kinda diff then those jap cars.. btw off topic. my car is not low enough, still got 2 finger..im using 1# rubber spring pad and H&R spring...would it be advisable if i remove the rubber spring pad? any pros and cons about it? how many inch lower if i remove the rubber pad thanks all...im still new in modding a merc..
i would not really suggest massive pull on the fenders..unless u really know how to pull 'em without destroyin the fender, mine is not pulled, only shave n rolled.. as for ure 2nd question, its not advisable to remove the pad, but if u want to (maybe wrap the springs with tube n duck tapes, most probably the result would be squicky sounds coming out(which is not too cool in merc, since its a lux car), + maybe alignment problems as well i think.hehe not too sure about the alignment problems.. in anyway u modified the suspensions to lower ure merc, all kinds of sh|t start to grow in the car(squicky sounds, tapping sounds n so on)..so its totally up to u to try here n there...from my past exp, i've never removed the pad, n i've got several springs.. my suggestions are if ure not into coilover..juz cut 'em spring or buy several springs n cut 'em with several heights + better shock(aftermarket shock).. peace!
oh yea rhyi, how do u do that?stretch n skew with ms paint?hehe me likey..post more pics man!!
yakuza.. i would go for cutting the springs and experiment with the pads. thats what i did with my car. the front springs were cut too much, but in the end i had options with running different spring pads.. if you cut too much spring off, just use a thicker spring pad to get that perfect stance. 555...yup... skew every part of the pic except for where the wheels are.

Thanks....will show u guys when my ride is all ready... cheers...
yakuza.. make sure you cut the bottom of the coils so the rubber shims still fit onto the springs. people say cutting is bad, but really, you will barely feel a difference. it rides about the same as if they were left uncut. dont really worry about cutting too much, as you can always adjust the height with the spring pads. i do get some rubbing in the rear when i drive fast with a full car, but then again my wheel offset is a +15 right now. if i left it at +30, it would be rub free.
Many many thanks...ryhi... btw my front is 2 finger and rear is 2 finger a lil bit more... any recommendation? shud i cut 1 loop on each spring? me gonna cut it pretty soon.. thanks again..
man all them rims. such a good selection too :) u selln any of the old ones?

new stance [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v643/ryhi/P5110004.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v643/ryhi/P5110003.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v643/ryhi/P5110002.jpg[/IMG]
19s back on.. its damn hot outside.. [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v643/ryhi/P5110008.jpg[/IMG]
wow bro, love ur new stance, is that on air or coilover or spring? if were on coilover/spring, how is it possible to make a wheel turn with ur tyre hiding inside the fender.. sorry for asking that stupid question, but i would love to know the secret for it, alwiz wanted to go lower... :D
im on springs. a bit bouncy but i think most of it has to do with dead shocks. it does rub a little when turning. im going to have to run a 215/35/19 as my current setup is 225/35/19 on a 8.5" rim.
is it possible to do a full turn? or maybe a picture? would love to see how is this thing work, interested to do this too :D
really?it still rubs?i thought u've rolled & shaved ure fender rhyi?mm..i suggest u shouldn't run too 215, the 8.5 on 225 is good enough, what about fixing ure fenders? btw ahahaha i can see the scorchin heat from the picture, dayum!
That thing is REALLY NICE!!!:thumbsup:
