[W126 Coupe] lowering

[Markus Meyer]

Just curious, how many of you 'naysayers' have done this, tried, this, or
driven in one like this?  Mine has been lowered with H&R springs, 18" wheels
for over 10 years and I love the ride.  So much I just did the same to the
wife's SEL, except that has 16" wheels on it.  My SEL is next...

To each his own I guess.
