W124 1990 300E 2.6 "suspension"
I had to shorten the front .strut tower by 4-5 inches. Have difficulty to align is there any kind shock and coil spring there to replace such AMG etc ... that helps the alignment and improves the car handeling performance?

Why did you need to shorten the tower? Rust? Do you have any pictures? I know that H&R makes some lowering springs (I have them) but nothing that short.

So you are creating a kit car? Bolting the 170Da's outside to the 124's body?

And you need shorter springs and shocks so that it can be aligned properly right?
They do make lowering springs for the 124 chassis. I am not sure if they would be too much for your application. 1994 Mercedes 300E H&R Sport Lowering Springs Benz W124 29569-2 You can further tune the ride height by using a different thickness spring pad. Mercedes made these in various heights. The height is indicated by the number of nubs on the pad. 1 is lowest 4 is highest. Bilstein also makes sport struts that might be useful in your application. |
170 / 300
The W124-29569-2 is part number for sport spring? I cut the original springs by 2 rings but it was too short I replaced by 320E springs I should go with some kind of sport model it going to be trial and errors until I get just right. the car is aligned but he had to rise the left side by an inch.
