Would 500E springs/shocks work well on a 95 E320 Wagon?
 

Would 500E springs/shocks work well on a 95 E320 Wagon?

I heard the rear springs on W124 wagons are "weaker" or softer because the SLS helps to suspend the rear of the car.

Should 500E sway bars front/rear go along with the swap?

Also, how much do 500E springs/shocks lower a W124?

Thanks!

anyone?
 

anyone at all?

can some please help?
 

pretty please?

West. The Coil sdprings will work on your wagon application also the shocks. I havbe to look it maybe the same part no#


I actually have my shocks out of my 500E there about a yr old. And my H&R rear coil springs.



I would think the shcoks are the same part no#

Are you interested wanna purchase them.

My dad would be the one buying the stuff to lower the wagon. I think he likes new parts but thanks a bunch for the great info!!

All four springs and the FRONT struts will work, however, the rear hydrostruts are different and will NOT bolt-in. Click here for pictures.

Guido, how much do you want for your stock 500E shocks + H&R springs (rear only?) ?

Where do I get rear struts for a 95 Wagon to lower it with 500E springs/shocks? Who makes them?

Thanks!

Glen, I see you have a wagon too!

Just put in 500E rear springs and "2-nib" spring pads in the rear, and it will be lower.

Don't forget to do 500E front springs & front struts with 1 or 2 nibs spring pads in the front as well.

Guido- I might be interested in those rear-shocks. Please email me at: ke6dcj@sbarc.org

Cool. Neil there in great condition, I probably @ the most have 15K on them.

How is the east caost by the way. Are you getting pounded with crazy weather. I won't tell you how nice it is here. I think you know.


See ya

Yes! I have a wagon too...as Neil mentioned, install the 500E springs all around with 500E struts up front. You can adjust the rear SLS to fine tune the ride height. :)

Btw...
 

Here's a picture of my wife's wagon:
(500E springs all around, E500 front struts, 17 x 7.5 Moda R6 wheels, 215/45-17 tires)

wow Glen That wagon sits nice. I thought those wheels were antera 143's that what I had on my old 300E. Cool lookin wheel.









G-dog.

Awesome! Glen, that wagon looks awesome! Just about everyone of my high school friend's thinks wagons aren't cool. I'm convinced that wagons need better marketing/advertising in the USA. 2004 will be the reuturn of the wagon with the Dodge Magnum with an optional 5.7l 345 hp HEMI V-8 for around $33,000, MB E Class Wagon, BMW 5 Series Wagon, Audi S4 Avant, and what not. Hopefully a C55 AMG will be coming soon in wagon form too. Thanks for your help!

p.s. my dad and I are going to an independent MB repair shop tomorrow (monday the 26th) to see what the place is like and ask some questions.

:D

Wagons rule!

I have the same coil & strut setup as Glen. However, I added a 500E rear sway-bar, and a W124 "Limo" bar up front.
