Hello Everyone...

I guess I'm just posting this message to tell everyone how kick-a$$ my new H&R springs are. I just finished putting them on my 92 400E. First of all, installation was a breeze taking only a little over an hour and a half for all 4. (I have a shop and did the work myself.) The rears took less than 10 minutes a side. The fronts were a little more complicated, but all I did was drop the 2 lower control arm bolts, and pivoted the control arm down with a transmission stand. Voila, that was it. Anyway, I left the stock spring pads on, they look pretty thin anyway. I think the car is about 2in. lower, and it looks killer! Actually the rear wheels sit inside the fender well! Right now, I have stock wheels. I hit about 110mph on the beltway on the way home and came across some pretty big dips, and nothing rubbed. Also I want to comment on the steering response of the car now. It's a difference between night and day! I really feel like I'm in a corvette or something. OK...so if you have any doubts about H&R...don't worry. So far it's the best money i've put into the car. Wheels are next month, then I'll post some pics!

later everyone......pb

peter can you e-mail me a list of instructions on what you did for the front and rear. :) I'd like to know more about it. I've been sent some instructions, but as always I love the knowledge.

Plus I just got new springs, and want to install them/get them installed...

Peter,

Did you have to make any alignment changes?

Good luck,

ok guys...

Ashman...do the springs yourself, i've heard shops charging 300.OO plus for that. Save it for the Euro's you've been trying to get forever. hehehe Let me get a free minute around here and I'll post a thread explaining how I did it.

Larry...I'm doing the alignment right now. Camber, caster, and tow have changed since I took the lower control arm bolts out. These bolts are offset and they adjust camber and caster. Last night I didn't get a chance to align the car, so I'm doing it myself right now.

Pbalias,

What are the H&R spring numbers for front and rear?? I found a set of new H&R springs for a W124 touring last saturday lying around in a pile of recently bought Belgium MB-dealer-clean-up-parts and want to install them on my 1993 300CE conv.
I know the front springs are the same, but think the rear ones will be a bit stiffer...

I have no experience with H&R what so ever, but hope they will provide a nice handling...

greetingz,
