Believe me, I know, I've been looking for years too. I got both the exhaust and springs (never mounted BTW) from Bernard in Germany (via Robin in the Netherlands) over on 500E.com. List price for the exhaust is over $2300, not sure about the springs (I'm guessing about $1000). They're out of production, obviously, and no longer available new from Brabus NA AFAIK. Brabus Germany might still have some lying around. I got both from Bernard for just over $2000 shipped. IIRC, they only had one exhaust and I grabbed the last set of springs.

I believe the pipes are three inches in diameter.

Nice find... You don't see many W124's with the Brabus exhaust in the US.

Could you please post some pictures of your car? I'm seriously thinking about buying an E500 in the next year or so. I'd love to see the before & after with the spring installation

Good luck.

Good luck.
Here is the car with OEM suspension. It is currently sitting on H&R springs with Bilstein front shocks and is considerably lower than these pictures show. I expect the Brabus springs to actually be slightly higher than the H&Rs, but I will be going to 1-bump pads all around to preserve the stance (currently 4F/3R).

By the way, I highly recommend the 500E. Superb in every way. Made me forget about my '98 CLK320 (R.I.P.) in a hurry.

You should make your way over to www.500e.com and post this question there. You will get all the help and information you need to track down, evaluate, and purchase a clean example. Not trying to undermine MBWorld in any way, since I like this place too, but there is no better online community for 500E owners (and prospective owners) than Scott's site.

Too bad they still break loose with anything more than 3/4 throttle from a dig.

What really kills me is that now my buddy is rolling the fenders on his G35 to match my sizes (up from the 245/275 that he has squeezed under there now). Which, of course, means I'll have to go to 265/295. And tramline directly into the center divider on the freeway.
