E320BENZ- well done, i like it. I have a couple questions for you...
Where did you get these parts and about how much did you pay..
1.E500 sway bar and eibach sway bar
2.H&R sport springs
3.Bilstein sport shocks
..And would you reccomend these performance parts to improve hanling? Are you happy with your suspension setup?

And for the exhaust i would like to improve power and want it to sound bad A$$, but we all know that it takes a lot money to do that to this car. so what would you reccomend based on your exhaust set up? -a setup like yours or a remus exhaust system with electronic cut-outs??

no exhaust will help these cars out with power. sound yes power no. the only thing that will increase your power is a bigger engine or a turbo.

btw what was the price for the exhaust E320?

i wish i could drop my 4-Matic...only thing i can do is just cut the springs, but with these roads in NJ/NYC i dont see that happening...i could slap in some rear sport springs but the front is untouchable, and that would just look werid...

E320BENZ:

I'm in the process of gathering all of the parts to lower my coupe - please let me know the best place to find the front & rear sway bars (I would imagine you compared pricing?).

At the moment, I have new Bilstien sport shocks & Vogtland (didn't know they would be so purple..). My car is going to look like a damn Viking's jersey underneath.

Also, has anyone got a suggestion for braided brake line manufacturers?

Thanks.

Ok, so I did my own research & found that motorwerksgroup.com came up with the best price for the front & rear spotline sway bars - $149 each delivered. Bushings come to about $40.

I have now completed the purchasing stage of my suspension upgrade for the 1995 coupe:

Brabus Bilstein shocks & struts
Vogtland sprins
Sportline sway bars (obviously)

Come on spring....!
