Getting me E320CDI W211 Back on the road

[airportstar]

My Beloved E320CDI W211 has been sitting for 18 months, looking sorry for itself.

I want to get it back on the road but it need some work.

It's a high mileage car, that's need a full service, new battery's, a bit of tidying up of the body work and I want new springs and shock (front springs have snapped).

I want to make it a little track focused, what's the best suspension setup? Is it the Bilstein B8 with H&R spring?

Based in East London, any recommended independents that are good for a mini restoration?

Thanks

Hi hope you're well. Firstly I've used Airport Star a number of times and it's a great service.

I have an S211 with the same engine as you . It has Eibach springs with Bilstein B8 dampers. It's brilliant, amazing control and ride quality but, I wouldn't take it on a track ...
