Is self level still working ?

How did you achieve the new stance ?

You centre caps are missing.

Car looks in good cosmetic condition.

OP car looks v fine to me.

My E280 estate's body is 40mm closer to the ground since about ten days ago. New springs fitted and re-levelled rear suspension. Must say it looks a bit less perched on its wheels than standard. Am very happy with it ... Few more tweaks to get the car sorted.

Just remind us ... Why do we want these?

Because they are adjustable and can iron out any camber issues when lowering.

Thanks for this ^^^.

Mine seems to have descended in a perpendicular manner... All seems quite square to itself and the world. It drives identically to before (except the grating sound of the broken spring has gone away). I had planned this mod at some point soon but my hand was forced by said spring failure.

Paint detailing (chips, small blemishes, and paint restoration/polishing) and under bonnet to be done next before I have my business graphics put on it... Then it's time to fix the audio...

@USD$84 you might find these a cheaper option than replacing rear tyres. From the photo I'm picking approx 3 1/2 degrees of rear camber....??

How did you achieve that ? what springs did you use ?

I like the look of a 124 that has been lowered, was looking at this one earlier

I am quite tempted to be fair

Was it a big job to lower it?

On mine it was H&R springs - sourced from Germany by my local MB independent. The whole thing cost just over £500 I think... Labour and springs.

It's not so low to look rude - it's just tighter to its own wheels and to the ground...

I will sort some pictures soon - that might be once I've tweaked the paint though..,

Mine's not as low as that. It looks like sportline but just tweaked lower.
