Lowering 116- how? no springs exist
What are my options for lowering a w116? I have seen photos of lowered 116s, and I find the look alone worth the modification. It is funny- my inspiration has been 6.9s with faulty suspensions, but I have seen a lowered 280S and a 450sel, and I like the look. I am not talking about a drastic drop, but just a moderate sports drop. Even with, say, 15" 126 rims, the lowered 116 gains a lot in the looks department. 17" monoblocks would probably make the car look like a respectable Frankencar. I have done some research on the internet, but most of the available information is for Honda's or muscle cars. This car is strictly a pleasure car, and is non-collectible, but I am still trying to restore it and add a bit of custom flavor to it (yes, I am young, but why else would I be pouring money into a 30 year old car?). Any info for custom suspension modifications would be appreciated.
