[W126 Coupe] 560

[richard jaffe]

Be aware that when you lower an SEC you will get an excessive amount of negative camber. The front can be adjusted to compensate, but the rear can't. (at least the Gen 1 81 - 85 cars). I had to install a KMAC adjustable rear bushing set in my 85 to stop eating expensive rear tires. You will also lose some ground clearance as well.
