You can tell from the ridiculous amount of negative rear camber that the car in your link was lowered more than 2" even.

If you want a car that is daily driveable and handles well, then my recc would be to use the available H&R kit and reduce your rear spring pad thickness to level it out. You will still have excessive tire wear unless the camber is corrected, but not just a few thou miles like that example!

Where could I find some pics of a W124 that has the H&R set? What did that red W124 use for suspension do you think?

My signature pix has my W124.036 lowered on H&Rsprings with #1 pads and Koni adjustables on the fronts, stock SLS on the rear....if you care to look.
