hey guys I'm back. I made up my mind to keep everything OEM except for the lowering springs; just 1 inch lower with original shims. I don't want the alignment to be too much off. As you know they don't make camber kits for the S500. Also too much neg camber is bad for traction as there is no LSD. I will not take on this DIY project until I'm exhausted in researching the proccedures on the W140 chassis. I did the W124 about 6 years ago and It seems simple enough. Hopefully the W140 is not much more difficult then the W124. I will need to purchase the spring compressor. I didn't use it the last time and boy it took about 5 hours, with the compressor it will be much faster. The rear I know will be a challenge becuase you have to bleed and reset the ride height. Another person did his W220 on this forum, so later I will post pics up when I'm done. Don't hold your breath guys, it will be a few months. I'll be gone for Europe in july and will fix it when I'm back. Meanwhile I will start on the brakes on the E420 W124 this weekend. Thanks guys God Bless.
