MJ50's W201 Mod Fever

Picked up 190E 2.3L 16V from NorCal...

Visited Leistung Autohaus in Garden Grove today for photo coverage of Ground Control coilovers install on 2.3-16.
Leistung is forum sponsor and specializes in MBs.
After witnessing the entire install process, I have to say Leistung's workmanship on Mercedes is best in town.

190E on a lift and ready for install...

I just installed this kit as well. Rides great but the back seems quite low. Did you get your ride height dialed in?

what exactly are you bolting the front coilover too? From my understating the stock setup doesn't even have holes the holes for the caster camber plate to bolt too? Did you drill new holes? Does this eliminate the upper control arm?
