Lowering a 1984 300d. Can it be done right?

Before you guys flame me with negativity I just want to explain. I have a beater car that I got for cheap that I use as a daily driver. It is not a good cannidate for restoration so i am thinking it would be fun to make it a lil different.

I do not like over done cheezy paint jobs, flashy graphics, or untasteful custom stuff. I just want a clean smooth car & I love the look of a low rider! Is there someone who has slammed a 123? Air bags, springs, etc... My preference would be to do this properly and not "presidential solution" it. (sorry for the non PC reference) I know the "wrong way" is to heat or cut the original springs. Any help or ideas would be great!! Might even "Mac or Murder it out" which would be flat black the entire car. This is a popular trend in the Custom Car, Hot Rod, Low Rider gatherings.

I know you Mercedes purist hate this idea which I understand and respect. I would of NEVER done this to my other 3 cars which were VERY nice examples of these fine German cars!

Thank you for looking!
