New Guy - 1990 Mercedes Benz w124

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

raised her up a bit:

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

Lol me going fast? Hah next time LMK and I'll pace ya! What car was yours?

Well traffic pushed me all the way back, I was stuck in the right lane :saiyancrunks:. I would've but you drove right past me and it's pretty hard driving and shooting ahaha. A stock 2GS, hopefully modded soon ahaha.

Love that old Benz look. Nice work. Could use a wheel update, but I'm not hating! 

There are a few of these local to me running around on 20s so this is a much appreciated change of pace :)

That thing looks sinister. I can't get down with the huge amber corners tho

[QUOTE=projecty33;456468]That thing looks sinister. I can't get down with the huge amber corners tho[/QUOTE]

i hear ya! people say clear corners and one piece EURO headlamps, but i kinda like the US spec... something different

loves the merc man! good job

road construction always kills me! after commuting awhile you kinda know what potholes and dips you need to avoid on the road... and then caltrans always finds a way to fuck it all up! major gash
