The amount of lowering and the amount of difference in the lowering front to rear is correct this genre of mods.
Most people like stock original but this car's lowering is....... more similar to the current E class than the original w123 stock. Comments??? |

The cost of reinstalling the correct springs and wheels, as well as undoing whatever hacks we can't see, significantly reduces the value of the car. It's worthless in it's current condition.

Most people that I've met keep the stock wheels.... I have aluminum-steels and hub caps, along with bundts in my yard.
It's $199 for a spring compressor, and most people already have a dremel to widen the spring perch hole for the compressor. Springs are filthy cheap used, like $60 for all four turbo springs.

You REALLY don't want a stick with a OM617a, unless it has a VNT turbo.

I wouldn't buy anything from someone who posts such an obvious lie; who knows what else he's lying about.

I honestly don't see the point of people buying these cars, if they just take it to a shop for work. These are expensive pigs to maintain, and adding a mechanic to the mix only makes the bill worse. These cars are becoming maintenance queens as they get older.

for the user, if they are mechanically inclined, they can maintain the car relatively inexpensively. if they are not, and they don't frequent this forum... they run the car into the ground, and turn it into a junk pile. the collector if they are mechanically inclined will have a cherrished car or two forever, and inexpensively. if they are not, they likely will have a mechanic, or a dealer maintain the car forever. it's all in the way the individual looks at the car.

If you click on the "more pics" link and scroll down you'll see the original color, complete with rust dings, some scuff marks, etc. You can see the difference in tint clearly on the open rear door shot. Interior pics with the "repaired" console and more. http://houston-imports.com/forums/showthread.php?t=616309 |
