i guess the problem lies in the fact that you are using a NEW badge on an OLD car. so you either follow the styling for the newer badge because it is newer or you go with a new badge and go with the OLD guidelines. the correct way to go is to get an old badge to match your old car.

Here is the FINAL word on the AMG badge placement. (reinforcing Alon)

Obviously the molded badge on the left stays on the left.

The ///AMG badge that comes with the ducktail sans molded logo goes on the left as well.

The only time AMG belongs on the right is for real AMG cars after 94 starting with the C36. End of story. Now we can all move on with our lives...

What size are those wheels and where did you get them from? Are they original MB wheels?

Doesn't look lowered, but those EVO wheels always look nice on the W124. I should pick up a set.

i am a die hard OE part freak.

they are OE mercedes. EVO-II wheel, 17".

i bought all 4 from my local stealer, $275.00 each.


lnkprksoldier
i want to lower the 400, but it will be awhile.

i had to replace the evaporator a couple of weeks ago, $1901.26

i lowered my 300e 3/4" by changing the spring pads and added the sportline front swaybar.

i just had a 500e front swaybar put on the 400.
tightened the front end up quite a bit.

What part number did they fall under? The price you bought them at is a lot cheaper than what bekkers.com wants for them.

thanks!

do you live in the asheville, cherokee, north carolina area?

norcal

i will see if i can find the part number.
either phil @ partshop [mercedesshop] or caliber motors 1.800.252.6877 in california wholesale parts can sell them to you and or gladly give you the part number.

bekkers is in business to serve themselves, period.

chris

i paid 121.00 at the local stealer for the bar. there are bushings and brackets to buy too.

they better be working with me, i've spent a crap load of money with them lately-and still NOT done.

for the 6 cylinder cars the sportline bar makes a big diff. the 500e bar may be overkill IF you aren't doing rear bar at same time.

try a 'search' for sway bars at the big 3 merc forums. alot of useful info

thanks for the info. Is that at wholesale price? I'm actually about to leave to the dealership right now. I need to pick up some misc parts for my wheels. I'll check out the prices on the front and rear. I'll pretty much get both at the same time. I thought it would be a lot more expensive but those are pretty affordable. You say there was a dramatic improvement right?

ebennz, thanks for the part number. I forget to ask my parts guy to check on the 500e sway bars. I'll check tomorrow since I'm going there again to pick up a few things. Ooooh...can't wait to see how much better my car will handle.
