Hey thanks for the replay, Buckwheat. I'm not rich, but when I purchase the car. I did my research and knew what I was getting into when I was decidding on the purchase. I would have gotten a S600 but cars like that would cost major $$$$$$$$$. I'm prepared to overhaul the major suspension parts. Just don't know which route to go. AS for the lower springs I think it will look better with just 1 inch drop, just to give it a lower stance. I'm not looking to be a low rider, that was ten years ago. I think the 97 and 98 S class rides lower than earlier model S class, kinda like new BMW, Audi, and Benz of today compared to cars ten years ago. Please give me your honest opinion. Thank You
