air ride suspension

Ok. To all the purists please forgive me. I would like to know if any of you have install aftermarket air ride suspensions. Specifically for the w123 wagon. I would like to be able to lower the rat wagon further.

What if you took out the SLS and used regular shocks with lowering springs?

I have put a shout out for the lowering springs but have not found any. I have done air ride before to some of my street rods but didn't know if there was a company doing the early wagons or benz's for that matter

You should come to the next GTG we have and bring your wagon, Donny. I'd love to see it. Plus, maybe you could give me an idea of what might be done about the rust on my rear fenders on the SEC.

It's always fun. Plus, there is usually one or more of the PowerPig Parade of Exotic Automobiles on display . . . . .
