[W126 Coupe] Ride hight

[Axel Wulff]

Rich,
 
I noticed you have dual exhaust pipes.
 
How did you route the pipe to the right side?
 
Satish has a dual pipe setup on his car and he routed the pipe behind the bumper. I guess you don't want to get too close to the fuel pumps.Regards, Axel J. Wulff610-731-5453 Cellular610-572-4611 Home

Pete,
I've got H&R sport springs on my 85 Euro - they dropped it approx 1.5 inches all the way around. Cornering and roll resistance are noticeably improved. However, some cars may develop excessive negative camber in the rear when dropped - might have something to do with the condition of the rear diff mount.  The attached photo will give you a good idea of the lowered ride height.

Hello all,
My '83 500 SEC AMG looks like it rides a little high all the way around and a little more in the rear. Not much, just noticable. Are there spring sets or lowering kits out there that are mostly cosmetic. There is a lot of room in the wheel wells. I don't want a "low rider", just enough to level it out. I'd like to see one done before I would lower it. Are there air bags available? This thing rides like it's glued to the road. I'd rather leave it as is than lose that.
Any ideas?
