Yeah, but I get to drift my 5,000+ pound, permanent AWD/4WD, V6 SUV for 5 months out of the year!!

this is the kind of people we dont need on this forum. It makes us all look bad. i will not even tell this guy where to get reasonable price on lowering, i just hope this guy goes away...................forever.

shalom people,

if you ever want to rally race me on the dirt muddy roads of Texas, or the snowy slushy roads of Wisconsin, well see who wins, my heavy 203 with 4matic(OH NO 4MATIC MAKES YOUR CAR HEAVIER!!!) or your light rear wheel drive 203 which tends to flip over on sharp turns because it ways like a feather. trust me youll be flipping roof over wheels and end up on top of the trees, end up on the 10 oclock news hahaha

what? A Hebrew cant own a Mercedes? what is this a "NAZl" forum? we're already getting bombed by those damn Paleztinians!!!!!

on a side note....


ive got 2 sand bag in my e320... hahha... my purpose was to add weight for better traction in the winter...


i have the stock suspension in this car and am planning to lower it sooner or later...



i will admit thought.... i do like the lowered rear ride height because of the weight but you will have to do something to compensate for the front...

anywho..... i do agree with everyone else...

save your money and do it right!!!

hahahaha you can not possibly be serious right!?!?! everything you say just gets crazier and the fact that you actually thing your funny is even worse haha. and first off if a car is properly lowered it wont flip cause it will be so close to the ground yet with your sand bag idea the weight will actually shift around and you might be actually more likely to flip under hard braking and turning as in rally situations.

but if you dont want to listen to us then go ahead do it and replace the intake too and just had a sand bag there too on top of the engine so the front looks good too oh and take pics also i heard it better if the sands actually out of the bag cause it shifts around less

Just cut your springs if you can't afford it. Your points are way off.
