Nice, all you need to do now is lower it. I see you have the springs, do you have shocks yet?

AMG_Fred

how do you know he has new springs?? nice car. i like the color. a new grill without the black tabs inside will make it look nice. post back if your willing to buy

94 E420

yea i'd probably be willing if you showed me a pic? Yes I do have the H&R 1.3" lowering springs I just cant find a place to get them installed at? Do I have to have new springs? If I did I would probably buy the Bilstein HD Shocks? Can yall give me some suggestions I just acuired the car from my mom. So it has been drivin real easy. I do like to get on it every once and awhile its a high speed machine. Thanks for the comments, and where can i get the clear corners from?

AMG_Fred

clear corners can be found everywhere. but don't get the crystal clear ones... i don't like those :P try to get the frosted ones. those look good. and for the grill, try to find any post made by professor booty. he has a picture of that grilll as his signiture. he bought it and i really like it. its only for 94-95 models. does anybody know where i can find a similar one for pre-94???

94 E420

Where is a good sight that I could order the grill and the Frosted corners at?

If anyone can link me to a site that sells exhaust for my car, preferably the Remus exhaust please tell me.

that is the link for the grill and for the corners just look around on ebay. they should come up. ill try to keep looking for them. i didn't check today but i will later on.

CDP

check ebay, they have it for older models. Still not a fan of them though unless you have the upgraded grill. Simply black yours out.

94 E420,

Since you already have the H&R Springs, I advise you to get Bilstein Sport Shocks and not the HD's. HD's will not be compatible with lowering springs and yet I still don't know why people do so. If you want to know where you can perhaps get the shocks, you can contact TWS here in Walnut, CA at

As for the grill you have now, I think it looks perfectly fine. Although if you chose to go Avantegarde style grill ask people on this board which ebay seller they ordered it from...since I've heard some cases where the grill was messed up or didn't fit. People here will be able to answer it for you. or do what I did and simply black it out yourself. Heres the link from when I did mine. https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w124/86810-finally-finished.html

As for the corner lights. I recommend ebay sellers Katmac Imports or basically order it from www.importvision.com. I've ordered from both and both offer quality parts and shipping is impressively fast. Are you looking for clear or smoked corners?

oh and for the Remus exhaust...check out TWS and have it specially ordered or if bergwerks is still around...check them out and see how much they can get it for you. It's pricey though, I've checked into it and it was around 400 something just for the muffler. You could simply get any other brand and get it custom welded and piping and it'll be just as good. good luck!

Thanks for all of the feedback I'll check your links out.

94 E420

Whats the difference in clear and smoked?

94 E420

well just bought that grill and the smoked corner lights. I can't afford the rears right now. How long does that import place usually take to ship?

CDP

did you order from ImportVision.com? The clear or smoked?

here's the difference...lol





I have those smoked ones right now. Good luck with the grill when you get it. For the shipping process...depending on where you live...I got mine less than a week so I have no clue how long it should take to get to your place.

It is very easy to change out the rear springs with no spring compressor...jack up the car, both sides in the rear...let it all hang out/down. Get another jack and slightly jack up the lower arm a bit; undo the links, bolts and such, then slowly lower that jack under the arm...the spring will fall right out. R&R from there on.

Fronts you do need an internal spring compresser like a Klann...which you can rent from a number of places. Just as easy though.

94 E420

OK thanks for the info. I am probably going to order some bilsteins sports prett soon before the spring install.

94 E420

I got the smoked corners. I thought they looked better than the clears? and yes I did order from import vision.com.

CDP

Nice going, you won't be disappointed witht he smoked corners. Darn, seems like everyone is getting them now.

All you really need to do now is install that grill and perhaps get rid of the headlight wipers and you're set.

94 E420

well thanks for the help. I'll keep you posted when the parts are put on. I was going to get a new GTO but instead i decided to get the E420 which was my moms car. I love this car. I think it is just truly amazing, and when I decide to get a new car one day I will probably get a 1994 Mercedes E500 if I can find any.

CDP

Nice to know you kept it within your roots and european.

94 E420

yup! Does importvision.com send you a email confimation with your purchases? I oredered the two smoked corners off the site, and it said I paid through paypal but I never got a confimation for my purchase. My KandN filters should be here monday. The grill should be here fri or mon. My lights im guessing should be here Mon? does anyone know how long it usually takes importvision to ship their products out?

94 E420

I kind of need to know this if anyone knows because I don't want to be scammed.

CDP

I think you're being paranoid. It was the same thing with me. If you simply want to know if they made your order. Contact them and see. Like I said earlier, I got mine within a week. I don't know about you since you're outside of CA.

94 E420

Oh well I feel better now. Yea I do get a little paranoid sometimes.
