Exclamation W124 Faq - Please Read Before Posting

Hello

We get asked the following questions A LOT:

1. What wheels fit my car?
2. What suspension set up do you recommend?
3. What headlights should I get?

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE use the search feature before you post questions on these subjects.

The way you search is by clicking on the words that say "Search this forum". They are located near the top right of the page. Type in the info you are looking for and then click "go".

If and only if your search does not answer your question, or if your specific question has never been answered before, then post it.

The W124 section of MBWorld has a lot of people that have a lot of information for you, and we love to share, but certain topics get old and repetitive. So, to avoid flames, please search first.

And, I'm sure I've left several other topics out of this FAQ, so please feel free to add to the list.

PS: We don't care who has the biggest w124 dik.

Everyone needs to chill and stop acting like a bunch of 9 year olds fighting over Kerry from Ms. Charle's third grade gym class' stolen spongebob squarepants underwear.

Lets keep it f#cking real people.

I say we try to do this properly, every decent forum has an FAQ thread stickied. If we could get to something close to this, it would be very helpful to both old and new members:
http://www.acura-legend.com/vbulleti...ad.php?t=71633

All we really need here is that you can fit 18x8 et35 wheels with 224/40/18 tires safely on your car. if you want to try anything else, search.

bilstein sports are the best shocks to use if you lower your car.

now someone post what size speakers will fit, and that will take care of 94% of the questions asked in the forum.

Those are decent. A W124 looks better with some bigger wheels though :S 24's are for weiners! Go up to 26"!
