Hi all,
I'm going to replace the suspension on my 1990 W124 230e as soon as I get a bit of spare cash. It currently has the uprated springs, which give it the higher ride height and is very hard, but bouncy...if that makes sense!
I'm wondering if anyone can advise me on two things:
1) The best springs / dampers if I want it to get the normal ride height and feel
2) The best combination is I want a slightly lowered set up.
If you have any suggestions for make of spring / dampers and where to source, I'd be very grateful.
I did pop into my Mercedes dealer the other day, but they said that they would only be able to supply me with the original fitment, which would mean the same uprated, higher ride height stuff, which I want to get away from! Are dealers only allowed to supply orignial fitments or was he being rather unhelpful?
Cheers
Ian
