124 Owners !!!!!!!!!!

If you lower your benz with sport springs try to get the sway bar from a 400e/500e. It realllllly makes a difference. Check out those 9inch rears

looking at rear

When you say look at those rears... is the sway bar supposed to be visible or are you talking about the tires. Sorry, i just didn't understand...

thanks,

I don't think it was meant to imply the sway bar affetcs the rims, but often when a car is lowered you need additional support in the suspension in the form of heavier swaybars, etc. You've probably noticed some people hot rod up their cars by cutting their springs down (cheaper than buying new springs I guess) and their car's handling is dramatically reduced in even simple curves (you don't want to see them in a hairpin). Lowering a car and gaining in performance ability takes alot more than just using shorter springs.

Thumbs up

That is one nice 300E, needs Euro headlights Badly. I think he just wants you to see how wide those rear tires are, nothing to do with the swaybar.
