height

Ok so on my car the front ride height is noticeably higher than the rear by a couple of inches at least regardless of ride height setting, I'm new to the car but is this normal? Should the front and rear ride height be the same? I've seen other CL500's with pretty much the same ride height so...

Hi, I have a 1992 W124 230E and the ride height is weird. I never saw a w124 sitting that high before . It just does not look right. I am very doubtful that it has stock suspension set up. I decoded the VIN of my car through a russian website. I found out that my car has "Harder springs". I...

Am I right in thinking the front wheel-centre to wheel-arch should be 15" and the rear 15.5". I have front just right and rear at 13.5" has had the shocks done on rear but seems to me the coil springs needed doing also. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know roughly how much lower a W202 C230K Sport sits than a non sport model? I want to fit new shocks and springs but all the kits I've found (kits seem to be the cheapest way) offer up to 40mm lowering. I'm guessing that's 40mm lower than a STANDARD model rather than a sport. Is that...

Hi There. Thought I would look at lowering the car a little. I know there are units out there but producing my own is more enjoyment. I have found the front height controls (under the wheel arches) but are having trouble locating the rear unit. I am either going to manufacture new length 6mm...
