Sportline Steering Box

Next to the turbos, I think I can say without hesitation that the best mod I've ever done to a car is to put the true Sportline steering box (124 460 71 01) on my 300CE. The car handles so much more like the E500 that it's almost like a different car. I don't know exactly how many turns shorter the ratio is, but man it turns like lightning.

I highly recommend you find one if you have a W124.

I have a sportline box in my TE, and it is a worthwhile upgrade!

Are these aftermarket or are you talking about getting this off a donor vehicle?

I think it's almost 1 turn saved lock to lock. How hard is it to swap the boxes?

"some mods improve your car and make it into something it never was, other mods, however, although essentially the same, are not, and make that car a ricer"

if your car isnt shiny, you dont know what you are talking about, remember; paint shine = knowledge. In order to be taken seriously, you should spend all your money on paint, (and get a dyno reading).
Dont forget to polish it often
