How should I slam my w140

Hey guys. I already cut 2 coils off the front because it had an old ass down stance and I couldn't take it. I put a set of bilstiens on when I cut the coils. I know this isn't the "correct" way to lower a car but considering the coils are almost 2 feet long I knew it wouldn't mess with the ride much, and it didn't. I am also looking for some body kits. What do you guys suggest?

Most companies do not stock real VIP aero as it's best to order it to be made. When aero sits around it changes shape and fitment can become a challenge. That's why most companies produce aero per order to ensure the highest quality and best fitment.

Can't go wrong with Wald Kit. As for suspension, if u want to save and spend more for the rest, then cut few coils and run it with bilstein is fine. Air Suspension is the ultimate suspension set up, but some may prefer coilover over air-sus. :biggthumpup:good luck!
